The Back Door To Your Teen's Heart Seminar - Parenting Class

Led by Melissa Trevathan, M.R.E., Sissy Goff, M.Ed., N.C.C., & David Thomas, M.S.S.W.

Melissa, Sissy and David invite you to join us at the back door for a time to talk about the teenagers in our lives. We not only are excited about the back door approach, but believe it is a disarming way to connect with adolescents. We hope you will join us for a day of teaching, laughing, talking, and encouraging each other on our journey to helping our teens become who God has created them to be.

We will talk together about:
1) development - what to expect during the teenage years
2) softening - what relationship does and can look like with teenagers
3) shaping - how to love, discipline, and instruct teens
4) strengthening - how to help the teenagers in our lives feel a sense of purpose and discover more of who God is creating them to be

Sunday, April 6th, 6-8pm
cost: $25, child care available if reservations made by April 4th
St.Bartholomew’s Church
4800 Belmont Park Terrace
To register, please email hchilds@stbs.net
