It's Not Just A Phase - Parenting In A Post-Pandemic World
2022-02-06 09:30 - 12:30
You’re invited to Vaughn Forest Church on Sunday, February 6 at 9:30 or 11:00 AM, for the kick off of our new series “It’s Not Just A Phase – Parenting In A Post-Pandemic World”!
In this brand new teaching series “Its Not Just A Phase, Parenting in A Post Pandemic World” we believe that God wants to…
• Remind you that you are still the key influencer in your children’s lives.
• Encourage you with timeless principles from His Word that still apply today.
• Surround you with other parents who can provide encouragement and guidance.
• Give you wisdom on allowing your kids to enjoy technology without it taking over their lives.
• Equip you to draw out the individuality in your child while also helping them understand the value of being a part of your family.
• Help you to navigate the challenges of emotional health for your children and yourself in the new reality we live in.
The good news is that if you are feeling overwhelmed by parenting in a post-pandemic world…you are not alone. In this brand new series “It’s Not Just A Phase” we will talk about how to successfully navigate the challenges of parenting your children in a world where the rules have permanently changed and yesterdays methods just aren’t enough.
“I’d like to invite you to join me on Sunday, February 6 at 9:30 or 11:00 AM, at Vaughn Forest Church as we kick off a brand new series on parenting in a post pandemic world called “It’s Not Just A Phase.” I think all of us as parents have felt the strain of trying to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to raising our kids in the world we live in today. It may surprise you to know that even in these unprecedented times, God has some timeless wisdom to help you be successful as a parent and to relieve that extra stress that we all feel.
In this series, we will take a look at some of the biggest issues that parents are facing today and in a very practical manner, discover what God’s Word has to say about them…dealing with your child’s attitude and disobedience, how to win when it comes to your child’s access to technology, guiding your child to a healthy emotional state when you feel like you are at the end of your own rope, helping your family have time for each other when everything else in the world is demanding your attention, and more.
Even in these crazy times we live in, God cares so much for you and He wants you to know that He is greater than any circumstances you and your family may be facing.
I hope to see you this weekend at Vaughn Forest Church! I look forward to meeting you!”
-Adam Bishop, Lead Pastor

Compassion Journey
2021-12-05 09:00 - 13:00, 2021-12-04 10:00 - 15:00
Join us at Vaughn Forest Church on Saturday, December 4 from 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM and Sunday, December 5 from 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM for the Compassion Journey, a part of our “Be A Light” Christmas Offering as we shine the light of Jesus to the world around us.
The reality that most of us live our lives in sharp contrast to how others in our world live theirs can be a challenging idea for us to grasp. Even more challenging is sharing this contrast with our children. The Compassion Journey experience connects visitors to some of the realities for children growing up in extreme poverty. What do they eat? What do they fear? What do they dream about? What are their prayers? This experience will help families create conversations that help educate and can ignite compassion for the least of these. It’s a chance to see life from a completely different perspective.
The Compassion Journey is an audio-guided trip through six learning stations that share with visitors the environments and some of the unique challenges that face those growing up under the weight of extreme poverty. It also provides a chance to reflect and share in short break-out style conversations about what each one in your group is taking in. This event allows visitors to dive a bit deeper into topics of global hunger, living environments and the conditions children in poverty face every day. It is our hope that this experience will play a role in challenging us all to become more aware of the challenges that exist for children growing up on less than $2/day. The event is free and appropriate for all ages.

We cannot wait to see you for the Compassion Journey at Vaughn Forest Church!
