Every Wednesday evening, parents of all ages are meeting from 6 to 7 p.m. in room 145, located on the 1st floor of the Sheldon Family Life Center, to discuss issues and concerns dealing with parenting in our world today from a Christian perspective. This is an open discussion group and everyone is invited to join us.
