Parents within the congregation, as well as from the community, can gain confidence and skills for raising responsible, productive children through the Active Parenting Program. On Wednesday, October 11, 2006, an Active Parenting Leader Training Workshop, to be held in the Boston Area at the Sheraton Newton Hotel, will equip persons to teach six- or three-session Active Parenting courses, including variations for single-parents, parenting after divorce, step-parenting, character education, Christian, Jewish, Spanish-speaking, and more.
Persons who participate in this event plus the three following days (Oct. 12-14) will be trained to train others to lead these programs. What a wonderful resource this would provide for our conference and our local congregations. This would be an empowering ministry for parents in your congregation and an enticing program to offer in the community.
The cost for Wednesday's training is only $99 with the option of three additional days (training of trainers) for an additional fee depending on how many sign up. This does not include housing, which is $119. per room per night at the Sheraton Newton, and meals, on your own except for Thursday lunch, which is provided.
Some funding is available for scholarships, and costs can be reduced if four or more United Methodists participate and if participants live close enough to Boston that they do not need hotel rooms.
Please contact the pastors with any questions. To register, call 800-825-0060 ext. 120, send an e-mail to training@activeparenting.com, or visit the website ActiveParenting.com. Or you may contact the event coordinator Jane P. Ives (JaneIves@aol.com, or 207-797-8930).
