Are you too busy at night to attend parenting classes?  Do you work during the day?  Or are you a stay-at-home parent with too much to do while your children are at school?  Well, we have a new parenting class just for you!

Everyone needs to have lunch, so why not start learning better parenting techniques at the same time?  Bring your own brown bag lunch to eat while you watch instructional videos, discuss parenting techniques, and share ideas with other parents.

Beginning this fall, we will be expanding our Biblical Parenting Classes to include teachings from several Christian Parenting Video Series featuring notable Christian writers such as James Dobson, Chip Ingram, and Tedd Tripp.  A wonderful new parenting model by Heather Forbes and Bryan Post called "Beyond Consequences, Logic and Control" also will be presented.
 
If you only have one hour for lunch, please join us from Noon until 1:00 p.m.  If you have more time, you may choose to stay until 1:30 p.m. to discuss and share with other parents.
