Hey, Parents! Are you looking for some resourceful tips to help you in parenting your child/children? The staff at Children's Ministries is here to help. Each week, the kids get a takeaway called "MK Connect." This weekly Connection Bulletin keeps you and your family connected throughout the week. On this page, we are going to provide the Parenting Tips that we publish on the back side of this publication. Most of these tips are taken from the National Center for Biblical Parenting. You can go to their Web site and sign up for these messages and also see a lot of resources that are useful for parents.

Parenting Tips are available during the school year. Watch in the fall for new ones to be posted. In the meantime, click on a topic or date below to view a printable format of the Parenting Tips:
