Welcome to the Download Site
We are excited to partner with you to bring the Parent Recharge Weekend to your community. This site contains all that you, as the host, need to plan and prepare for our weekend.
Successful Promotion
A large part of a successful event is promotion. We have provided videos, printable fliers of all sizes and event social media posts/pictures.
Use content in our Social Media Kit for social media posts, blogs, newsletters, online calendar of events, and more.
Prepping for the Event
On the day of the event, attendees need a printable packet. We like to have physical copies of some of the resources we reference throughout the weekend. Finally, we have two e-books you can print or send digital copies to the attendees.
For a link to an editable Canva file so you can customize the parent packet for your event, email Josh.
For optional use, we provide a Parent Recharge placemat that could be used
during meals or to help facilitate table discussion.
Churches hosting the Parent Recharge event should order and provide several items to display on the Resource Table. This will serve two purposes:
- Josh and Sarah will highlight the sample of resources parents could purchase for their families, and parents will have a chance to look through the resources themselves.
- Josh and Sarah will do several giveaways throughout the event where the items purchased will be gifted to participants.
You are welcome to purchase ANY items you would like to include at the Resource Table. Below are our recommendations. See the Ultimate Guide to Spiritual Parenting for even more suggestions.
The Beginners Bible
The Big Picture Story Bible
Action Bible
