MINISTRY

Parenting Seminar

by

Sunday, November 14 at 12:15 in the YFMB Great Room

Whether we want to admit it or not, our culture has an impact on how we disciple our children and teens. If you’re a parent, grandparent, or ministry leader serving with kids or teens, this will be a thought-provoking and relevant event for you.

 

We’ll dive in together as we learn about cultural undercurrents, or shifts, that may not be as obvious as the big “waves” we always hear about. We’ll watch and discuss a talk from John Stonestreet, president of the Colson Center for Christian Worldview and co-author of A Practical Guide to Culture: Helping the Next Generation Navigate Today’s World.

 

Lunch and childcare provided. Please register online and contact Rachel (rachel@millingtonbaptist.org) with questions.

Risen Motherhood

by

Fall Podcast Series: Starts Tuesday, October 12th, 8pm

MBC “Risen Motherhood” Podcast Group is an online community that gathers weekly to reflect on the gospel-hope for moms with young children. Each podcast is about 20 minutes long and brings gospel truths to everyday topics of motherhood. Partner with us during this season of Motherhood on Zoom every Tuesday, 8pm.

 

“You might think that Scripture doesn’t have much to say about the food you make for breakfast, how you view your postpartum body, or what school choice you make for your children, but a deeper look reveals that the Bible provides the framework for finding answers to your specific questions about modern motherhood.” – Risen Motherhood

Tactics 6 Week Course, A Game Plan For Discussing Your Christian Convictions

In a world indifferent or even opposed to Christian truth, followers of Christ must be better equipped to communicate the timelessness of the Christian faith. But how do you have a conversation with someone who is intent on proving you wrong and won’t accept the Bible as a source of authority?

In this six week video Tactics course, We will navigate how to artfully regain control of conversations, keeping them moving forward in constructive ways through thoughtful diplomacy. You’ll learn how to maneuver comfortably and graciously through the minefields of a challenging discussion, how to stop challengers in their tracks, and how to turn the tables on a question or provocative statement. Most importantly, you’ll learn how to get people thinking about Jesus.

MEETING DATES:

Registration is now open!

Register

Out of nowhere death, illness, unemployment or a difficult relationship can change our lives and challenge everything we thought we knew — leaving us feeling unable to cope. Sometimes life just hurts and we suffer.

 

Christian Clinical Psychologist, Dr. Jim Owen, PSY.D., will show us how we can embrace the steps toward hope and healing, and introduce coping tools so that we can develop a sustainable hope in the Lord during hard times or even suffering caused by tragedies like 9/11 or the current pandemic.

 

 

The event will be held in the Sanctuary at MBC from 9:00am-12:00pm. 

Breakfast will be provided and childcare is available.

Why am I suffering like this? What do I do?

 

How can I handle this? Where can I find comfort?

 

How is my suffering affecting my loved ones?

Registration is required. Please register your attendance and any childcare needs.
