What makes our children spiritual?
Bev talks about what makes our children spiritual and how we can encourage them to be aware of how their Creator is speaking to them.
Prayers and Seeds
a project for your children
Here's a fun way for your children to pray for their neighbours and neighbourhoods.
Susanna Bateman
Susanna has written a book to help parents enjoy their parenting. She writes as a mother of 4 grown children and grandmother of 13.
"As I have come alongside so many wonderful young parents on this journey of life, I have discovered that many may have been robbed of the joy that is rightfully theirs in raising their precious children. This spurred me on to write a book that would empower you all to relax and encourage you to not fall under the pressure of being the PERFECT parent. Instead I will share with you some gold I have learnt and put into practice over many years now that has given myself, my children and my grandchildren the freedom to enjoy the rollercoaster ride of life together.
So, I invite you to take a deep breath, make yourself a coffee or whatever works for you and let’s go on this adventure of enjoying parenting together".
