Parenting can be overwhelming at times. Parents need a "spiritual" time out and opportunities to refresh, recharge, and regain perspective. Faith Building resources help parents grow in their own knowledge and love of God.
Discussion Clubs and Book Studies
So many books, so little time! "By the Book" clubs meet regularly to discus a book on a faith or parenting topic. The groups are led by a facilitator and filled with lively conversations and practical, concrete applications that impact everyday life. Most studies are free except for the cost of the book.
