Pastor Jimmy Donaruma will lead a parent seminar designed to “catch-you-up” on the messages that media is sending to our kids.

We’ll take a look at top movie, music, the mall, and websites to get a broad look at what out kids are seeing and hearing. This is open to all parents but would probably be best suited for those who’s children are in 2nd-12th grade.

You can sign-up on the Connect Card or register online.

Children’s ministry is available for nursery to 1st grade.

In 13 action-packed lessons, you’ll learn how to beat debt, build wealth, find bargains, invest for the future, give like never before, and much more!  This information will change your life.

Join us on February 16th at 7:30pm for a FREE PREVIEW of the course.
