COVID-19 Ways to help


Hi Parents,

 I've rounded up a few ways that we can help our community in the midst of our worlds current pandemic. Of course, please use wisdom and discernment. Our government has called us to shelter in place, still we are also called to love our neighbor.

 Prayer-  "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, and faithful in prayer." - Romans 12:12

 If you're in need of prayer any one of us would be happy to pray with you. Our church also has a prayer line 714-979-4422 (Press 2). We're here for you! 

 I'd also encourage you to use this time as an opportunity to teach your children about the importance of prayer. "Then you will call upon me and go and pray to me, and I will listen to you." - Jeremiah 29:12.  We have multiple CCP families that are truly on the frontlines of this pandemic. I know they appreciate us interceding for them during this time.

 Donate- "In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the vulnerable and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”- Acts 20:35

 Local hospitals are accepting donations of gear. To view the full list of items accepted and how to donate click here. 

 Some local churches are in need of donations for their food bank. To view the list of food and items needed and how to donate click here.

Red Cross Blood Drive 
Due to a lack of adequate space to follow safety protocols, many blood drives are being canceled. Mariners Church has the space and will be opening their Community Center on April 13, 16, 23 & 30th to the American Red Cross. They will be following all of our government's safety measures. If you are healthy and feel led to give to this critical need, you can sign up here. 

We're truly in this together,
Miss Kat

Welcome Back & Book Review

Hi Parents!      How are you all doing?  I pray that you all are well and that you are finding some sort of beauty in this season. If I'm being honest, the combination of more family time and slowing down has helped me pinpoint some gaps in my parenting.      A few weeks ago, after a couple of challenging days with my little ones, I plopped into bed feeling that same old familiar feeling of tiredness mixed with unsettling. Did my children hold a secret meeting to plan ways to push my buttons? I pictured them in their super hero pjs writing their plan on a whiteboard while I thought they were sleeping. I laid in bed and started scrolling different articles, blogs and parenting websites for guidance.  I ended up ordering some books to help me with these cycles that I feel I get stuck in with my parenting.      Over Spring break I dove into No-Drama Discipline: The Whole-Brain Way to Calm the Chaos and Nurture Your Child's D...

3 Ways to Teach Empathy to Your Preschooler

Hey Parents, Teaching empathy is harder than it seems. Studies actually call empathy a skill and, as you may know already, it comes more easily to some than others. So what exactly is empathy? Empathy is defined as "the ability to understand and share the feelings of another." My favorite explanation is given by the one and only Brene Brown- Check it out below.. So now that we've defined what empathy is, we can start to practice it.  Because if there's one thing I know about having children, it's that it's nearly impossible to teach something well if you don't practice it yourself. Which leads me to my first point. Model it -  Yikes this is a challenging one! Being mindful that our children are watching most everything we do is important. They're watching you treat your waitress with kindness or ignoring your postal worker. They're learning from you picking up the trash outside the restaurant or leaving things for someone else to ...
