Support for you, the parents!

Here at Centennial ARP Church, we hold that the parents bear the primary responsibility for the discipleship of their children (Prov 1:8, Psalms 78:1-8, Ephesians 6:4 and most clearly Deuteronomy 6:7).

We also believe that you weren't meant to bear that burden alone. Parents, you are a part of a covenant family. Recently, that was publicly expressed and shown as some of our precious children went through communicants' class and publicly professed their faith as they joined the church. What all of us at Centennial Church acknowledged yet again is that we are willing to help and support you as you raise and disciple your children. Folks, that is a beautiful reality of the Spirit's workings in the local church! What an encouragement for you as a parent! You are not alone!

On top of that! you've got me! I am here to support you, encourage you, share with you, and minister to you as you and your children navigate your way through this journey.  I want you to see that clearly! I am here for you. Do you have questions? Need prayer? Need advice?  I'm here.  I may not have the answers to your questions right then and there, but I can promise you this, I will seek ways to best answer your questions. I will point you in the direction of people, books, articles and wherever that may have better answers than I can give you.

Check out this Helpful Article as I believe it will be a blessing to you as parents. And don't forget to check out this month's Parent's Resource at the bottom of this newsletter.

Write an article for the ARP Magazine
 

The ARP Magazine has asked for students who have testimonies, stories, and experiences at one of the camps (Bonclarken, Music, Music/Drama, Camp Joy) or something else they'd like to share then to pass it on to them.

Ask your children to send Ryan a brief story or experiences from their times at one of those camps and I will send it to the ARP Magazine and it may be featured in the ARP Magazine
