WHEN: Starting August 28, 9:45am
WHERE: Conference Room at the end of the Sunday School hallway.
WHAT: Our first study will be Seven Secrets of Successful Parents, by Randy Rolfe
Hi Parents! Ever want to talk about parenting with other parents? Maybe get a few pointers from those who’ve “been there, done that”? Or perhaps you just want to vent about how difficult it is to get your 5 year old to brush her teeth?!?
I invite you to meet us in the conference room at the end of the Sunday school hallway at 9:45am for a time of learning, support and encouragement for the toughest, but most rewarding, job in the world: being a parent.
***We are looking for help with leading and coordinating this class. Please talk to Marshall Gordon if you are interested!***
Before I got married I had six theories about bringing up children; now I have six children, and no theories. ~John Wilmot
