Family Power!

We can learn a lot from each other and make our kids and families stronger at the same time.  Each week a topic will be introduced followed by thoughtful and interactive discussions.  These topics will include: Your on-going talks about sex and morality for toddlers to teens; How media really impacts kids – “but everybody has an X-BOX!”; Models for daily family prayer; Our neighborhoods/our kid’s friends.

 

1. Seeking Peace Unity Purity   2. The Trinity: God’s Love Overflowing
