Parenting Class: Executive Functioning
Tue., Oct. 9, 8:45-10 AM or Wed., Oct. 10, 6:30-8 PM
Executive Functioning skills include a variety of interrelated abilities that help each of us manage time oriented tasks and monitor them. Effective budgeting of time and accurately assessing the demands of a task, along with an understanding of the variables that may impact these demands are key abilities. Initiation (starting), inhibition (stopping), and self-regulation (monitoring) of certain of these behaviors are also major skills. Finally, maintenance of focus and development of resiliency during stressful tasks, along with accurate appraisal of strengths and needs and development of a sense of a learning profile comprise this complex series of capabilities. Wanzenberg and Associates will share their vast knowledge in this area and help parents recognize when their children are effectively utilizing these skills and when helpful intervention might be considered. We regret that childcare is not available for the Wed. evening event.

The Church in Act[s]ion
Sep. 23-Oct. 21
In our quest for authentic discipleship we next turn to the early church and see what discipleship looked like among the first followers of Jesus. How did they live? Where did their fire come from? What practices were central to their life as they sought to follow Jesus in the fallen world? We will answer these questions in ways that will provide a framework for our life of faith as individual disciples and as a community of Christ followers. We will allow them to model authentic discipleship for us.
Oct. 7, Church that Prays
Oct. 14, Church that Witnesses
Oct. 21, Church that Multiplies
