SUMMARY:The Parenting Summit
DESCRIPTION:Valley Church Chapel\nNo registration required; just show up!\n\nThe Parenting Summit – Insights every parent wishes they had sooner. 10 pages from the parenting playbook nobody gave you \nOne day you just became a parent\, and suddenly you were figuring it out on the fly. What if someone handed you 10 insights that could change the way you connect with your kids\, lead them with confidence\, and launch them into the world? \nTaught by Pastor Brandon Early\, this isn’t a full course or an A-to-Z manual\, but it is 10 practical truths most parents only stumble on by accident. Think of it as the pages you wish were slipped into your hand on day one. Come ready to laugh\, learn\, and leave with tools you’ll start using right away.
