Love and Logic Parenting: Teens, Tots, and Technology

,

Love and Logic Parenting prepares children for the real world using models and teaching the Four Steps to Responsibility. In the upcoming workshops we focus on Teens/Tots & Technology and some techniques to use to keep kids safe with screens.

As parents we sometimes run out of answers and out of breath trying to communicate with our kids.This way of talking to children gives you specific answers and actions for some the difficult moments in child-rearing. These simple techniques are effective with all children, from toddler to teens. It will change your life and the lives of your children.

Plan to meet with us November 12, 19, 26 and December 3 in Room 103 from 10 am-10:45 am.

Jennifer Snook and Cindy Dethloff teach this class. Questions? Contact Jennifer, 684-5215.

Bus Tickets and Morning Worship: November 15

Each month Grace distributes bus tickets to people in our community. This happens on the 15th of the month, or if the 15th is a weekend we meet the Friday before. Volunteers and those receiving tickets begin to gather around 6:30 am in the Grace Alcove. Guests are greeted with smiles, coffee, water, and a place to sit. Tickets are distributed at 7:50 am.

We invite all guests to a brief worship service with communion in the Great Room at 7:35 am.

We can always use volunteers to help with set-up, clean-up, and ticket distribution.  Want to help?  Contact Kirk Anderson, kirk@mygpc.org or 684-5215.

Youth and Mental Health: November 5

Meets in Room 103

Every year families in our church and connected to our church have teenagers who experience mental health crises. Some are short term, some longer.  Some involve outside help; others are managed at home. One of the biggest challenges is how to talk about this and where to turn for help.  Whether or not you live with a teenager, you are part of a church with teenagers, and this class will offer you insight into these young people.

gifts

We need your help staffing our table at the upcoming Alternative Gift Market on Saturday, November 11. It’s easy and fun. Look at the bulletin board by the coffee bar for the times we need volunteers and support another mission project of Grace.

Speaking of the Alternative Gift Market, do you find it hard to buy a gift for a family member, friend or colleague? The Alternative Gift Market is an excellent place to shop for that person and giving them a gift that shows you care for them and for those in need.

Our Church’s “cause” this year is ending hunger and homelessness in the US and Canada.  We are one of over 40 causes that are being represented and supported by the market.
