“Honor your father and mother.” It’s a simple command that we may know as the 5th commandment from God. But how do we honor aging parents when that labor feels overwhelming and, oftentimes, thankless? How do we balance responsibility, love, seeking help, our emotions and the dynamics of a changing relationship with aging parents?
Caring for aging parents is a common but complex journey for all involved. So we invite you to come together to explore this topic and gain support and resources for your journey. We will hear a testimony from someone who has walked this journey with both of her parents. There will be a question-and-answer time, followed by group sharing and prayer.
This seminar is for those who have aging parents who are beginning to need or already need help with everyday life.
We also welcome our seniors to come with their perspective on what is and isn’t helpful from those who care for them.
Please RSVP HERE so we can prepare refreshments and adequate space. We will meet on Tuesday, May 19 from 7-8:30pm in the foyer at Connors Hill.

Relating to adult children is radically different than parenting school age kids.
How do we do life with our adult kids?
Is it possible to do too much for our adult children and end up hurting them and their future?
Are we helping or enabling our adult child?
How should parents respond when they experience rejection from their adult kids?
What do we do when our adult kids choose values contrary to ours?
Jim Burns, founder of HomeWord ministries, has addressed these questions in his book “Doing Life with Your Adult Children: Keep your mouth shut and the welcome mat out.” We will watch a video of Jim Burns talking through the main principles laid out in his book. Then Pastor Tom will lead us through a large group discussion about the video. We will conclude with round table discussion and prayer.
This event is a 50+ seminar but all adults are welcome including parents of school age kids. Refreshments will be provided. Please RSVP HERE so we can plan accordingly.
