We leave it up to each family to work out their own childcare. Sometimes it works best for families to share a sitter or to swap childcare with another family whose Growth Group meets on a different evening. This is another part of the commitment, but again is worth the effort. One of the best gifts you can give to your kids and family is to be a spiritually growing parent yourself. This also provides a powerful example to kids as they watch their parents model the pursuit of spiritual growth in relationships with others. Another twist that some will take is to periodically include their kids, where age appropriate (for example, once a month include all kids 3^rd grade and up).
