1st ANNUAL PARENTS' CLASS!!









Ever feel like your home is one big awkward family photo??

Can't BEGIN to express how excited I am about this, folks!  It's time to dive headlong into equipping parents to be the best spiritual leaders they can be, and in the process, power you guys up to be the engaged parents that this youth minister will THRIVE on!!

Beginning this year, and continuing once a year, we're going to have a 6 week parents' class during the spring quarter. It will be divided up into 2 IDENTICAL 6-WEEK SESSIONS, so as to not disrupt other classes' teaching schedules, and to keep from pulling you away from other classes you love.

The first session will begin at the start of March and run midway through April, the second session will pick up there and run through the end of May.  This is REALLY going to be some quality content, so DEFINITELY make plans to be with us during one of the two sessions.  IF YOU TEACH, you may want to coordinate with another parent and split the quarter with them so you can both be in there without putting the pinch on the class you teach. IT WILL BE WORTH THE EFFORT!!!

With future classes, they'll be much more focused on one topic. With this first one, we're going to cover a wider array of things, but here are the main things we'll dive into:

1. The NEW approaches to youth ministry that you've seen happening (and will continue to see) at Robinson Avenue and HOW you can be as effectively engaged as possible
2. How to be the spiritual leaders in the home that God wants you to be
3. Things you should know about the EVER CHANGING WORLD OF SOCIAL MEDIA
4. How to be connected with and encouraged by other parents going through the same things you are

Like I said, this is DEFINITELY going to be something that you want to be a part of. Come have some coffee and some GREAT conversations about raising teens in this crazy world!  You WILL be glad you came!

***SIGN UP FOR THE SESSION YOU WANT ON THE BOARD BY MY OFFICE!!!***
