Celebrate 
Mother's Day, Memorial Day, Father's Day, July 4th and Labor Day
Biblically

Now that many of us have celebrated Christ's Death and Resurrection at our church and in our homes, we can look at the upcoming celebrations of Mother's Day, Memorial Day, Father's Day, July 4th and Labor Day.   Volume Two of our Holiday Series will be out in a few days in plenty of time for you to prepare to look at these days through  the spectacles of Scripture. 

Our first volume of CMI's "HOLIDAY SERIES" was a big success.  We looked biblically at how we might celebrate New Year's, MLK Day, Valentine's Day, President's Day, Saint Patrick's Day and Easter.  There were visualized Bible verses, the background of the holiday celebration, a Bible story relating to the theme of the day, crafts, coloring pages and a song CD (with children singing).  All of this for only $21.

Now, you can continue having an alternative to either ignoring these special days (as unredeemable) or falling into our secular culture in making these days simply a celebration largely of the flesh.  In I Corinthians 10:31 the Bible says, "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."  Should we not then look at periods of celebration to consider what God has said on the subject?

Our children are naturally interested in these days because of our culture.  Either the day is an actual holiday or they see others joyously "celebrating them" for reasons that often obscure or downright  "pagan".  We don't need to retreat in our parenting or instructional duties, we can provide a biblical perspective and these "HOLIDAY SERIES" are a tremendous alternative.

The Bible has many verses on honoring our father and mother starting with the 5th Commandment, "Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you."  Indeed, its the first commandment with a promise!  A great way to honor our parents is in the celebration of Mother's and Father's Day.  Sadly, its become a market-driven day(s) of taking Mom out to dinner, buying her some flowers or getting Dad another tie or sports/hobby equipment.  We can and should do so much more! 

There are many proverbs showing us how to honor our parents; such as Proverbs 15:20,  "A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish man despises his mother."   Or, Proverbs 6:20-23, "My son, keep your father's commands and do not forsake your mother's teaching.. Bind them upon your heart forever....For these commands are a lamp, this teaching is a light..."  We ignore our parents at great risk.  Our society has fenced off its older fathers and mothers and shuns them, the Bible tells us the opposite.  Regrettably, our schools and institutions replace parents by becoming surrogate guides and counselors.  The results have greatly damaged America, sown uncertainty in parenting and division in our homes. 

Our Holiday Series, Volume 2 can give parents and churches a great alternative to these days of honoring our parents.  Use the code MOM08 to get a 10% discount on this new product, hot off the presses. 

You will also be pleased to learn how this Memorial Day we can honor those who have sacrificed for us.  This July 4th we can see where true freedom lies (in Christ).  This Labor Day we can understand why all of our work is God's work as we "do unto others as we would want them to do unto us".

MAKE YOUR  VACATION SCHOOL BIBLE SCHOOL THIS SUMMER A MEMORABLE EVENT!!

Have you often been dissatisfied at the "light and fluffy" VBS programs that do a lot of entertaining but precious little instruction.  This summer make a difference with one of CMI's "Bible Building Blocks of the Faith" series with five lessons (one for each day of VBS..morning or evening). 

For example "Series A: The WHO WHAT WHY HOW of CREATION" is a five lesson series ideally suited for 3 to 11 year olds on who made us, what else God made, how God made us in His image, how we can glorify God and why we should glorify God.  There are Bible stories, memory verses, songs, a song CD, and review lessons.   These concepts are colorfully visualized and vital for a young child's understanding.

And the best news is that all of our series are non-consumable!  Yes, you can use this again in Sunday School, Bible Club or any other occasion!  And the series are for  multi-ages (Series A is 3-11, the rest 4-12).

Other series, such as, "Series E: Covenants and Promises" teaching about God's covenants in the Old Testament and how they are fulfilled in Christ with the same Bible Memory work, Bible lessons, songs and crafts as Series A had.    "Series H: The Holy Spirit , Our Helper",  "Series K Prophets, Priests, Kings and Me", "Series N: The Sacraments of the Lord's Supper and Baptism", and "Series O: He is Coming Again"..a look at end times...all of these can be easily adapted for your VBS needs.
