“I just don’t think I can do this anymore!”
That famous quote spoken by EVERY parent that ever existed is a reality all parents face at one time or another. Those moments are not ones in which we should give up, but rather give in. Since what we are really doing is asking for help, why not give in and seek God’s advice directly?
We all want to be good parents and we all want to raise good kids. But what does “good” really mean? How can we take the grace Jesus has offered to us through His atoning blood and share it with our children?
The Center for Individual and Family Therapy (CIFT) and Orange Villa Bible Church are proud to bring you a one-day conference to explore what it means to Parent with Grace.
Cost:
$30.00 for Individual
