Places of Worship

Religious centers of worship continually strive to reach out and support their community members, so that they feel surrounded and supported during times of need.  Parenting concerns can often be a stumbling block for family life and marriage.  Whether your community is seeking an introduction to parenting course as part of baptism preparation or a way to connect with mothers and fathers of middle schoolers during the tough transition years, Renee’s talks can meet the needs of your families.
