Saturday, September 14 | 9 -11:30am
Do you want your kids to grow up to be emotionally, mentally, and relationally, and spiritually healthy? We do, too! More and more kids today are struggling to live into this dream. As they go through life, they encounter people and situations that lead them to pack and carry some enormous emotional baggage that holds them back from living in the grace and freedom that God provides. Parents are in a unique position to help their kids "lighten to load" along the way.
At Snyder, we want to partner with parents and caretakers in raising your children in a Christ-centered home with Bible-based teachings. You are the primary spiritual leaders in your child's life and we are here to support you each step of the way. Whether you're an aunt, uncle, grandparent, mom, dad, or volunteer with children and students, you won't want to miss out on this year's Parenting Weekend!
