THE PHILOSOPHY AND VISION OF THE Grow FAMILY EVENT

 

Sunday 12 April 6:00 pm - 7:15 pm

Troy United Methodist Church

Family Life Center 

(Light dinner will be served at the start of the event)

 

Busy parents and caregivers often feel overwhelmed with the thought of adding one more thing to their lives-but they also long to intentionally nurture their children's faith. The Grow Family Event shows parents how to take simple, everyday activities that fit easily into their life rhythms, and make them a meaningful part of spiritual parenting.

The goal of the Grow Family Event is to provide parents with the tools they need to replicate a family night in their home using resources they have access to on an ongoing basis.
