Parents, keep them close to you and under your shepherding oversight. Don't depend on other people to watch your children. Use church as a wonderful opportunity to train respect, obedience, and soul-control, just as Christian parents have done for 2,000 years. See the tips and suggestion from the July 16 Newsletter or call for parenting discipleship if you need it. This is an opportunity once each month for a free night of fellowship and iron sharpening for the women of our church.
Children are welcome with their parents.
However, after ten years of teaching these courses I've decided to switch the Level 1 and 2 courses. Because far too often when students learn the principles before they learn the process of speaking the truth in love, then they go out and ineffectively attempt to deliver God's counsel to those in need. So we've chosen to put the course on process first and open it up to everyone, even those who have never taken the principles course. If you are timid and want to learn how to speak the truth more boldly, or if you are naturally bold and need to learn to be more loving and gentle, this course will be very helpful for you. Pictures - We'd like to put a couple of church family pictures on the internet to emphasize the reality that the ekklesia is people, not a building.
