As a young father I was running scared . . . I feared the culture would capture my kids . . . but I figured if I could find the ultimate model of fatherhood and then emulate that model, I had a fighting chance.” Updated and redesigned for a new generation of dads, Josh McDowell’s ECPA Gold Medallion Award winner The Father Connection looks at ten parenting qualities inspired by the ultimate model of fatherhood.
Embracing these godly characteristics will make all the difference in a child, boosting self-esteem and sense of purpose, helping him or her to:
• Feel loved and secure
• Develop a reputation of integrity
• Know their dad keeps his promises
• Stand up to unhealthy peer pressure
• Avoid drug and alcohol abuse
• Save sex until marriage
• Desire their father’s counsel
• Admit when they’re wrong
• Come to their dad in times of trouble or hurt
• Admire and respect their father as their parent
Join Pastor David on Wednesday evenings as you will discover how you can make the difference in your child's self esteem and sense of purpose. Classes run September 17th - Dec. 17th from 6:30-7:30 pm.
During class, children ages 0-preK will be cared for by our nursery workers, and children K-5 will join Pastor Traci in their very own study built around the parents connection (honor, self control, respect, sharing feelings, controling anger, and much more!)
So, Dad's bring your kids and look like a hero as you offer mom this opportunity for a mom's night off!
 When God created us, he created us in his own image and likeness, using himself as the blueprint for our design
"Let us make man in our own image and likeness." (Gen. 1:26).
He determined the exact time of our birth, the lines and characteristics of our body and personality so that we would seek him and declare the Praise of him who called us out of darkness into light. (Acts 17:24-27, 1 Peter 2:9).
"He has made us to be a kingdom of priests to serve his God and Father." (Rev. 1:60)
The mission of United Methodist Men is to assist men to know Jesus Christ, to serve Him, to grow spiritually and seek daily to do his will.
