Parenting and Strengths Saturday, May 13, 2017 9:00am 11:00am

How can you discover your children’s unique gifts and talents?  And how can you use your own talents and strengths to be the most effective and supportive parent possible? This seminar will focus on identifying and understanding what your children are naturally good at (God’s forming) and where they thrive.  This seminar will also help parents uncover their own strengths and talents and effectively apply them to their own individual parenting styles. You will not be required to take the Strengths assessment before the seminar, but you might find that helpful and more meaningful.  You can do this at https://www.gallupstrengthscenter.com/Purchase/en-US/Product.  There is a $15.00 charge for the assessment.

Additional Resource: Disunity in Christ: Uncovering the Hidden Forces that Keep Us Apart

Despite Jesus' prayer that all Christians "be one," divisions have been epidemic in the body of Christ from the beginning to the present. We cluster in theological groups, gender groups, age groups, ethnic groups, educational and economic groups. We criticize freely those who disagree with us, don't look like us, don't act like us and don't even like what we like.Though we may think we know why this happens, Christena Cleveland says we probably don't. In this eye-opening book, learn the hidden reasons behind conflict and divisions. Learn: Why I think all my friends are unique but those in other groups are all the same. Why little differences often become big sources of conflict. Why categorizing others is often automatic and helpful but can also have sinister side effects. Why we are so often victims of groupthink and how we can avoid it. Why women think men are judging them more negatively than men actually are, and vice versa. Why choices of language can actually affect unity. With a personal touch and the trained eye of a social psychologist, Cleveland brings to bear the latest studies and research on the unseen dynamics at work that tend to separate us from others. Learn why Christians who have a heart for unity have such a hard time actually uniting.

Additional Resource: Your Church Is Too Small: Why Unity in Christ's Mission Is Vital to the Future of the Church

“I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you.” Too often, these words of Jesus from John 17:20-21 seem like an unreachable ideal. But in Your Church Is Too Small, John Armstrong shows that Jesus’ vision of Christian unity is for all God’s people across social, cultural, racial, and denominational lines.
