Looking for help with your kids doing school from home? How can we as parents “own the moment” and help our kids thrive in this season of home based learning for lots of us? Join us at Port City on Thursday, September 3rd at 7 pm as we hear from a group of parents who have been down this road of homeschooling and have some ideas and best practices that can apply to those of us who find ourselves here in this season. We’ll meet in the Studio 3 Cafe, be practicing social distancing, and asking that all who attend wear a mask while in the building. Click here to register.

If you can’t attend, you can listen to the event as a podcast later but we hope you can make it!

Dads and daughters are invited to join us on Saturday, February 8th from 6:30 - 8:30 for our 5th annual Daddy-Daughter Dance. It’s a great night to have a ton of fun together and make some great memories. Cost is $25 per family. SPACE IS LIMITED so click here to register.

Here are a few details about the night:

1. There is no official dress code, but we’re encouraging you to make it a special night.  I’m sure your girls will want to wear their best Sunday dress, so wear whatever you want to help her know it’s a big night for you too (you’d be amazed the message this will send).

2. We’ll have a dessert bar, but don’t plan on dinner at the dance. We’d recommend making dinner a part of the date either at home or out.  

3. We’ll also have a few takeaways for you and your daughter(s), so don’t leave without your “swag.”  

4. Just so you know, there will be volunteers available in rest rooms to assist those in need.  

5. Finally, we’ll have three photo booths for you to get a great picture so make sure you take advantage of that opportunity.  Each of the booths will be exactly the same.  Again this year we’ll be using YOUR PHONE to take the photos so you’ll have it immediately.  
   

We’ll start up the new school year on Monday, September 23rd at 6:30 pm with another Parent Network event where we hope to equip and encourage parents to help your family walk with God.  Mike Ashcraft will be joining us to share how we can build a solid foundation for our family.

The event is free and childcare is provided, but YOU MUST REGISTER to bring your kids. Click here to register.

Twice a year, the Parent Network hosts a Night of Encouragement for parents of children with special needs. Join us on June 20th 6:30-8:30 pm for dinner, community, and encouragement.

Troy is the founder of Agape Counseling Associates, Inc.

His theoretical approach to counseling is to integrate faith with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and principles to help initiate the restorative process for change and healing. Troy is recognized by the North Carolina Board for Licensed Professional Counselors and the North Carolina Substance Abuse Professional Practice Board to provide Clinical Supervision for candidates pursuing state licensure.
