Parenting: Raising Faithful Children

3-Sunday Workshops:
January 11, January 18, and January 25

This series on parenting workshops examines some Biblical understandings of parenting and how it effects our homes and world. Being a parent is not easy; we need to help each other with encouragement and support. If you are a parent, stepparent, grandparent or potential future parent, these gatherings will help give you a foundation, direction and help for this important calling. We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity.
