Join our biweekly gatherings for parents. These will be informal (think small group), collaborative (we’ll learn from each other), encouraging (no judgment, just hope-filled), and informative (we’ll hear from some seasoned parents and great resources).
We'll tackle some tough topics that parents and kids deal with in the hopes of bringing awareness, support, empowerment, and hope.
We'll meet from 6:30-7:30 in the Living Faith Room on the 2nd floor of the church while the youth are in Connection.
