Just in time for the Thanksgiving season, join us starting November 3rd for a five-part series as we get back to a place of slowing down, enjoying the people around us, and learning how to live in God’s blessings for our families. Every family is different—with their own wins, struggles, and personalities. But what’s the secret to having a truly happy home life? In this series, Pastor Tom Cogle talks about God’s design for families and how to live in His blessing for your family. On the last Sunday of the series, December 1, we will give away a 6 foot table with six chairs, complete with centerpiece consisting of a runner and Fall decor. (Entries can be made each week, giving each person, age 21 and over, up to five chances to win.) Don’t miss one of these exciting Sundays: November 3 – December 1!

Pastor Tom Cogle
The three phases of life are:
1. Childhood (birth to 10/11)
2.Adolescence (12/13-19)
3.Adulthood (20/21 – over)
1. Training Children (Childhood Phase – birth to 10/11)
Spanking is biblical. Shame, humiliation and abuse is not.
•Be Clear
•Be Convincing
•Be Compassionate
2. Teaching (Adolescence Phase – 12/13 to 19/20)
Parenting teenagers involves teaching them how to make the transition to adulthood.
We train a child what to think.We teach an adolescent how to think.
3. Trusting (Adulthood Phase – 20/21 and over)
It’s an oxymoron to call them adult children.They are adult sons and daughters.
When children grow up and become adults, parents must trust them and trust God to guide them..
