PASS THE FAITH PLEASE -- Mornings on Broadway, Wednesday, March 1- 8:30 a.m.
Have you ever felt stumped by your child asking a "Big God Question?" Do you feel a tad under-prepared to pass on your faith to your kids? Do you feel that you are doing a bang up job but would like to hear the experiences of others? You are not alone! Passing on our faith to our children can be a challenging, somewhat confusing, and stab-in-the-dark experience for some of us. It can be hard to navigate the labyrinth of beliefs and traditions of religion and still come away with clarity and focus. Some parents find themselves in the awkward position of passing along faith while simultaneously trying to find their own.

Joy Libby, veteran Sunday school and women's bible study teacher will facilitate a robust discussion of these topics and offer some biblical insight and strategy to try at home. Joy is the Executive Director and Head teacher of the Presidio Sunday School, a non-denominational Christian Sunday School located in the Presidio. She facilitates a women's faith discussion group each week and tries her best to daily pass along her faith. She is also a parent at CES (2) and SHB (K). Questions: Lora Banks (lora@TheCoachApproach.net) and Michelle Keene (mlkeen@pacbell.net), Committee Chairs, Mornings on Broadway.
