What can a life with God offer your family? That is the question we will be discussing at our very first parent sunday school. Join us for a panel discussion where we will hear from three pairs of parents and their adult children. We will get to hear about what a life with God has offered their families, as parents, children, and now adults who continue to be active in their faith. Parents with children in the home are invited to come together to listen, learn, and bond with other St. Mike's parents.
