INTENTIONAL PARENTING: RAISING PASSIONATE JESUS FOLLOWERS - Beginning in January
Parents—you have a great calling: discipling and raising your children for Jesus. Join us starting Wednesday January 7th at 6:30 PM for this 9-week series where we will learn and engage in discussion on topics like creating a heart of obedience, secrets for navigating the teenage years, a tool called the box, and many more biblical and practical tools. The cost is $10 per person. Online registration is required. Please register HERE.
To make this series fully accessible for parents, we are asking for other people to help serve in childcare for these 9 Wednesdays. Parents are deeply investing in this series—so let’s remove the barrier of childcare so they can attend without worry. We all have a responsibility to help raise up the children in our congregation together and helping with childcare is one of the most tangible ways to support families, build community, and live out our faith in service. If you can help, please sign up HERE or call the church office.
