Have you ever considered how we can steward diversity in our relationships with other parents? How do we remain true to our own convictions but allow other ?m?oms and dads to parent differently than we do? How should we initiate and respond to age-appropriate conversations about diversity, race, and culture with our kids at home? Aaron will help us engage with these topics through the framework of God's Great Story ?of Creation?, Fall?, Redemption?, and Restoration, and ?he'll lead us to consider practical ways to steward the beautifully diverse community God has established here at Central Christian School. We'll gather from 7:00-8:30pm in the ?lower level M?ulti-Purpose Room. While this discussion is specifically intended for the Central community, friends and relatives are welcome.
