We are excited for practices this week!!! Parents, we invite you to join us for a free parenting seminar being offered during your child’s practice this week (February 2, 3 and 5).
"Creating a Safe Space at Home -- Becoming the Person Your Child Runs To."
Our lead pastor, Pat Medeiros, will explore how you can build relationships with your children rooted in love, patience, and understanding. You’ll learn practical tools to create an environment where your children feel safe to be honest, ask questions, and find guidance -- even when they begin entering their teenage years.
The session will be in Room 217 and be 35 minutes in length, starting again five minutes into each practice time (5:35 PM, 6:20 PM, 7:05 PM). And feel free to bring a friend!
We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity!
