Parents
Created for Connection
With Guest Speaker, Dr. Chip Dodd
Thursday, January 29 in Legacy Hall
How can we as parents live fully in relationship with our kids, with other adults, and with God? Join us to explore neuroscience, attachment, and God’s design for connection, including how our full range of emotions—especially the negative ones—have God-given purpose in our lives.
Hors d’oeuvres and fellowship at 5:30pm will precede the discussion at 6:00pm. Registration is encouraged for this FREE event, as space is limited. Tables for eight are available for those hoping to host friends.
This event is co-sponsored by St. George’s Church and St. George’s Kindergarten.

Sunday School
Parenting Series: The Voice of the Heart
Sundays, January 11 - April 26 at 10:05am
Led by the Rev. Sarah Puryear in Dandridge Hall (upstairs)
This semester we’ll begin by reading The Voice of the Heart by Dr. Chip Dodd and considering the ways that our God-given emotions allow us to connect more fully to ourselves, each other, and God. This book focuses on eight core emotions and invites us to learn from and respond to them in healthy and wholesome ways. Join us as we discuss what this means for our children. Our class includes time for teaching, conversation, and fellowship with other parents.
Moms' Bible Study
The Gospel of John
Resumes Wednesday, January 7
Wednesdays | 9:00–10:30am in Akers Hall (upstairs)
Led by the Rev. Sarah Puryear & Mary Helman
Come study the Bible with other moms from our community. This year, we will be digging into the Gospel of John and its stories about the life and ministry of Jesus. Each week, we will read a passage together and share lively discussion. From newborns to high schoolers, all moms with kids at home are welcome, and childcare is provided by request with registration. Please join us for this special time of encouragement, conversation, and prayer with others in a similar season of life. Invite a friend, and join us when you can!
Register below for the class and for childcare if you have infants, toddlers, or preschoolers who might need it. Based on demand, the church will provide childcare just across the hallway in Room 223. Childcare will be offered during the first few weeks of the study regardless.
