Are you willing to take the time to listen to a message that could benefit you and/or your child?

Are you struggling seeing the mountain from the valley?

Do you feel like you could use some community support or just be in a room with people who may be going through the same things as you?

Are you questioning what agencies in this community could help you and/or your child?

Hear this out—
If you can stand for an hour in the trunk or treat lines for candy or for an upcoming Black Friday sale— why not take an hour to listen to a message of encouragement for your life, see that you’re not alone in any of your struggles or feelings, and better your mindset so you can be a better parent, coach, teacher, human, etc.??

On top of it- while you do this, we will give your kids an hour of playing time with pizza and refreshments while they also get wrapped in community support.

Did we mention it’s all FREE!!

We really hope to see you there!
