Another aspect of our vision at CoJ is to be a congregation that is “life building.” As a faith community we invest in each other, encourage one other, and build each other up to become faithful followers of Jesus Christ. We’ve refocused our Wednesday night format around a family night concept to address this goal.
One of our family night offerings is a video class called “Parenting Teens.” The videos are well produced and include interviews with teens about what they need most from their parents. One parent who attended last week’s session said, “I’m learning how to be a better listener.” I heartily recommend this class to all parents who want to be all they can be for their teenager(s). The class meets in my office from 6:45 – 7:45 PM on Wednesdays. Why not plan to attend?

People’s lives are complicated these days. They’re looking for real answers to life’s tough questions. The creators of a new website called iQuestions

The website breaks down into 7 major categories of life issues, each with subcategories: Marriage & Relationships, Parenting, Intimacy, Wellness, Money, Career, and Faith. Twenty five of the nation’s top values-based experts provide approximately 3 minute answers on video to an array of questions such as “My husband cheated on me. What do I do?” or “Will our fighting lead to a divorce?” or “We’re in some pretty serious debt. Is our debt affecting our relationship?” In addition, you can e-mail the free video to a friend, discuss the video with others, download the audio, or download the transcript. For each question posed, there is also provided a cross-referencing section of similar video questions and answers so you can further investigate a particular subject.
