Free Parenting Classes begin Sunday, September 15 from  9 to 10 a.m. at the Bath United Methodist Church, 340 Oak Grove Ave. in Bath.

Parenting is hard work, full of tough choices and new situations. And many voices compete with ours for our children’s attention. In a rapidly changing world, how can we parent in a way that will cause our children to love Christ deeply and live for him? These studies by Richard Patterson Jr. address nine parenting challenges, pointing us directly to time-tested truth from Scripture that helps us raise our children with wisdom and joy.

This study will be discussion based and are FREE and open to anyone involved in parenting children. During the parenting class, parents may bring school-aged children to our Sunday School class for PK through grade 8. Parents and children will begin together with a five-minute time for singing and prayer before going to their classes.
