Wednesdays, January 10–April 17, 6:15–8:00 p.m., Spurgeon Room (E125)
If you have an adult child, you know that parenting doesn’t stop when a child reaches age 18. In many ways it gets more complicated. Both your heart and your head are as involved as ever, whether your child lives under your roof or barely stays in contact.  

Join us in a support group format as we study this insightful book, learn from and encourage each other. We’ll cover things like healthy and gracious boundaries, the difference between helping and enabling, supporting them when you don’t support their choices, relating to their significant other, living with a broken heart, and much more.  

Please purchase the book through Amazon or other retailer prior to the class beginning. A study/discussion guide will be provided.

Taylor Park will facilitate a series covering a range of family-related topics. Learn from a variety of speakers from both inside and outside the FEC family who will share their expertise and/or experience with us. In today’s culture can you truly be biblical in your marriage, parenting, and other relationships in the family? Can you give your family the foundation of truth that will be required to stand firm in the faith for generations to come—even as the world becomes increasingly hostile to our beliefs? Married, single, parent, or grandparent you’ll find things relevant to your own stage of life, and you will be able to share God’s truth with others.

No registration needed. Topics vary each week.
