This Month’s Focus: Helping Teenagers Stay Connected
Parenting teenagers can be challenging, especially when encouraging them to succeed in school, develop self-discipline, and form positive social connections. This session will provide practical strategies from the Triple P Teen Seminar Series, including:
✅ Being Confident – Encouraging self-esteem and resilience.
✅ Being Socially Skilled – Navigating friendships and relationships.
✅ Planning Ahead – Developing responsibility and decision-making.
✅ Keeping Commitments – Building accountability and follow-through.
✅ Keeping in Touch – Strengthening family communication.
✅ Taking Care of Others – Fostering empathy and kindness.
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn valuable parenting strategies and insights from an expert in the field! Join us for an engaging and informative session designed to support and empower parents on their journey. Youth and older kids are invited to join Julie on the volleyball court, and children can go to the Kids’ Corner in the Fellowship Hall for games with Zoë or to Room 117 for quiet time with our nursery staff!
AFFIRMING MINISTRY
April 13 ~ 11:15 (Room 110)
We launched a new ministry in March on Second Sundays—a sacred space for LGBTQIA+ people to explore faith, scripture, and lived experiences. This isn’t a place to dwell on trauma but a space of affirmation, discovery, and deep listening as we ask: What is God saying to LGBTQIA+ people through the spirit and scripture today?
While allies are welcome, this space centers on LGBTQIA+ voices and faith journeys. Guided by resources from the Reconciling Ministries Network, we’ll engage in meaningful conversations celebrating who we are as God’s beloved.
Join us in Room 110 at 11:15 during our Second Sunday Open House to learn more and be part of this new, affirming ministry!
