Sundays, 10:00 am
Upstairs Peach Room

Parents with kids of any age are invited to join in a discussion group. We meet during Sunday School near the children's ministry classrooms. Our conversation will be loosely based around The Blessing of a Skinned Knee by Wendy Mogel, Ph.D. (host of the Nurture vs. Nurture podcast), using the outline below. You are invited to jump in, whether you have done the reading or not, on any Sunday you can make it.
