Next Study

[Lillia]

The teachers need your input about what we should study next.  We have had one suggestion so far...some type of study about raising our kids in the faith/church especially as they transition from elementary age to middle school and up.  Below are some books that Joseph and Carol recommended.  Let us know what you think.  If you have any other suggestions please post or email one of the teachers!  I will not be making this decision for the class so if you all don't respond you may have no lessons come February!

 

Thanks,

Lillia

Thank you Ann!  I also had an email suggesting parables or a study on Beatitudes.  I will ask Joseph and Carol for resources.  Anyone else interested in these topics or others?

[Merry]

I think the beatitudes would be great. I also like the topic of raising teenagers.
