PARENTING YOUR TEEN Marriage & Family Pastor Jim Davis & Youth Team, Room 280 This session we will discuss Kevin Lehman’s book Have a New Teenager by Friday. Parents may survive the terrible twos and the first years of school all right, but the teenage years bring entirely new and alien creatures. So, parents have a choice: either send that teenager to boarding school and visit him when he reaches normalcy again (in about ten years) or choose to experience the best, most fun years of life--together! The secret is in how the parental cards are played. All middle and high school parents are welcome to join. |

THE BOOK OF JOB Christian Growth Chuck Ruth and David Bennett, Room 226 We think of suffering when Job is mentioned.

MARRIAGE THAT WORKS Marriage & Family Pastor Walt Scheimann, Room 229 Maintaining a contemporary marriage is no easy task. It requires hard work. To think that a successful marriage -- that is a relationship between two people that is fulfilling, enhancing of one's sense of self-esteem, emotionally gratifying, nurturing, and supportive -- can be achieved by merely living under the same roof without investing effort and time, would be naive thinking. Some individuals believe that marriage should be easy, and if it is not, they think something is wrong. |
