Parenting Conference - March 7

On Saturday, March 7, the Women’s Ministry will join with the Men’s Ministry and the Children’s Ministry in sponsoring a parenting seminar for parents of children ages 0-18. The speakers are Dr. Scott Turansky and Joanne Miller, RN, BSN. They are co-founders of the National Center for Biblical Parenting, an organization that offers Christian parenting conferences, trains leaders to run effective parenting support groups, and provides Biblical parenting resources to churches. The parenting seminar will focus primarily on overcoming bad attitudes, accepting no as an answer, and anger in children. There will be a kid’s kamp style children’s program during the seminar with games, Bible stories, snacks and a special treasure hunt. The seminar begins at 1 p.m. and will end with a potluck meal in the Atrium at 5 p.m. This will be a wonderful opportunity to examine and strengthen your parenting skills.

Join Us for Supper this Thursday Evening!

Join us at 6:30 this Thursday evening (Jan. 8) in the Atrium for a delicious meal and good conversation. We'll have several soups to choose from and supply the drinks. Please bring a salad (any kind you can think of!) to share. There won't be a program - we'll just catch up and enjoy some time together. Invite your friends and neighbors!

A nursery for children ages 0-3 is provided. If you need childcare for older children, please email me ASAP (HeatherJ@StPaulsSummerville.org). Thanks!
