Children+and+Youth+Ministry+Parent+Education+and+Support

We are offering a covenant group in the Fall with parents particularly in mind on the 3rd Sunday of the Month 4:30--6:00 PM with child and youth care. We know that some parents would like to participate in a covenant group but the evening covenant groups don't work well for folks with kids. The group will consist of 8 to 10 adults. During the Covenant Group time there will be 2 options for free childcare: **Ages 0-5th Grade:** There will be childcare providers who will provide activities to be determined based on the ages and interests of children involved. **6th-8th Grade:** The covenant group will be offered at the same time as Middle School Youth Group which will be offered on Sunday afternoon twice a month on the 1st and 3rd Sundays. Sunday morning programing for Middle School will also still be provided but the Sunday afternoon program will be additional opportunity for Middle School Youth. We are hoping that this will make it easy for parents who would like to participate in this program to do so. Here is a link to more information about covenant groups. This class is a primer for talking with children about faith. It's both philosophical and practical. You'll get facts and tips but also hopefully an empowering grounding as a true religious educator. This class is not only for parents but anyone who has children in their lives.
