Parenting Seminar
Wednesday, November 29th
7-8:30 pm
@ Crossroads UMC
LEARN NEW WAYS TO SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGE
YOUR TEEN WITHOUT LOSING YOUR SANITY!
This event is offered to the community free of charge.
New findings show that the greatest
changes to the parts of the brain
that are responsible for functions
such as self-control, judgments,
emotions, and organization occur
between puberty and adulthood. This
helps explain certain teenage
behavior that adults can find
mystifying.
During this engaging presentation, licensed professional counselor and family therapist Neil McNerney will share specific skills to foster greater understanding between you and your teen so you can restore calm, reclaim respect, and regain love and fun within your family.

Are you feeling that your marriage needs a bit of a spark? Or do you simply need space and a trusted babysitter? We can provide both!
The objective of Dates With a Purpose is to make space for couples to have focused time together to invest in their marriage. Dates With a Purpose will give you the opportunity to meet other married couples, share stories, gain relationship tools, and laughs. From this place, you will head out on your dates with thoughts that we hope will inspire discussion and a renewed sense of the gift of your marriage.
The kids will be making a "Surprise Gift" for the children in the children's wing at Inova Loudoun Hospital. We will learn about "The Shepherd's Visit" to Baby Jesus and about how important it is to develop strong trusting relationships.
When
: 2nd Saturday of each month at 5:45pm (Registration closes the Monday before)
Where
: Crossroads building (43454 Crossroads Dr.) in the Discipleship Room.
Click here to register for the December 9th event.
