Christ-Exalting Friendships: A parent's role

On Saturday, March 26 Journey Christian Church will hold a mini-conference for parents, grandparents, and others in the body the Christ. The conference is titled, "Christ-exalting friendships: A parent's role." The conference will kick off with a delicious breakfast prepared by Steve Lazeroff, followed by teaching from the Bible about godly friendship and testimonies from three families in our body with different perspectives and experiences in guiding children and youth in their friendships. There will be time for questions and discussion, and a resource table with recommended books and materials.

The conference was motivated by questions many parents are asking:

• How do parents teach their children to make wise decisions in choosing the people that they spend time with?
• How do we find the balance between loving non-Christian friends to avoid entangling themselves in ungodly behavior?
• How can parents respond when their kids accuse them of "judging" a friend whom the parents think could be a negative influence?
• How should we communicate with other parents when we have different philosophies or ground rules?
• How do we teach our kids how to BE a good friend to others, including peers who have special needs or are "hard" to be friends with?
