This is a special event that is combined with the Youth Church Parents Day. Every parent s desire is to protect their child and give them the very best that they can. But what does the best look like for each of us? Is it giving them the best houses, the best education, the best toys and experiences? Do we sometimes get so caught up with these that we forget our biblical mandate as parents? God is calling us today to make a transformational impact on society and this begins in our homes. Come and join us as we learn from Ps Cassie Carstens on how to arise and grow in our roles as fathers, mothers and influencers of the generation that will shape society. 9.30am 10.00am 10.00am am 10.30am am 11.30am pm 12.30pm pm Breakfast Introduction by Ps Jeffrey Aw (Youth Pastor) Sharing by Ps Cassie Carstens Q&A Session Parents mingle with Youth leaders This seminar is made available to BBTCians free of charge but registration is required.
