New Group for Parents


Beginning Sunday September 9th, we'll have a group for parents of students in grades 6-12. The group will meet in the social hall at the church from 9:30-10;30 AM. The purpose of the group is to support each other in the rewarding-but-oh-so-challenging adventure of parenting. We'll examine trends in youth culture and Biblical resources for parenting. We'll interact with guest speakers. And we'll pray with and for one another and our children. My hope is that the group will be a place where you can find a sense of community and encouragement. If you have any questions, please call me at the church at
301.774.7100, ext. 205 or email me at bob AT ashtonchurch DOT org. I look forward to seeing you on the 9th.

Hey all-

Instead of just guessing what would work best for you and your family's busy schedule this fall, we want YOU to tell US when you'd like to have youth group meetings. To get your feedback, we've created a REALLY short survey for you to take. It should take less than five minutes to take the survey.

You've got lots of other stuff going on, so to make it worth your time, every person who completes the survey will receive a valuable and delicious prize. So what are you waiting for?
