THE “ART OF PARENTING” CLASSES

Blaine Christian Church, 7018 Putney Rd (corner of Joyfield and Putney Roads), invites families in our community to come to an 8 week study called the “Art Of Parenting”.  Classes will be taught weekly from Sunday, January 20, 2019 until Sunday, March 10, 2019 from 4 - 6 pm.  Classes will meet at the church in the downstairs classroom.

At 4 pm, a meal will be provided for parent(s) and children.  Child care will be provided while parent(s) are in class.

These classes are for any parent with children of any age still living at home with them.  There is cost of $10/single parent and $20/couple, payable at the door, for materials and the classes.

To reserve your spot, for more information, for directions, and to provide time to order enough books, please call the church at 231/352-9148 by the deadline of Monday, December 31, 2018.  And, when you call, please let the church know the ages of your children and how many in your family will need the meal.

The “Art Of Parenting” is an 8 - session, video - based study designed to help parent(s) create an environment where a parent can learn how to shoulder the responsibility, celebrate breakthroughs, and understand the day-to-day parenting journey.  The study will guide parent(s) to help children develop their character and nurture their identity.

Parent(s) will finish the study with renewed confidence in parenting, fresh insights on parenting children of different ages, and a parenting plan unique to each child’s personality and gifts.

You and your family are welcome to meet the church family at Blaine Christian Church on Sunday mornings at 8:30 am (Praise And Worship Service), or at 11 am (Blended/Traditional Service).  Separate activities (“Kid’s Kare”) are provided at each service for children 3 years old - 1st grade.  Sunday School classes for children 2 years old through adults meet at 9:45 am.  Church’s email:  blainechurch@gmail.com; church’s website:  www.blainechristianchurch.org
