Grandparents have an important spiritual role to play

CULTURE SAYS: It’s time to take it easy and enjoy spoiling your grandchildren.

SCRIPTURE SAYS:  Grandparents are called to a greater level of influence. –“Teach them to your children and to their children after them.” Deut. 4:9

AS A CHRISTIAN GRANDPARENT

• You are important to your grandchildren
• You are in a unique position of influence
• You can build and grow relationships with your family
• You can pass a legacy of faith to the next generations

Ways to help you become a more intentional grandparent to your grandkids:

GROUPS 

Two groups are being offered this fall that will guide and instruct you on how you—as a grandparent from a Christian perspective—can be actively involved in helping to shape the lives of your grandchildren. Each are 6 weeks long for 1.5 hours starting the week of October 6th:

1. Grandparenting Matters. This is an introductory and foundational pre-requisite before joining the second group,
2. Equipping International Grandparents, “Overcoming Challenges”

Simply email us at [email protected] and let us know if you are interested in either group 1. or group 2.  The deadline for responses is September 15th.
