HIGH SCHOOL PARENTS: Have you ever wanted to get together with other parents and talk about parenting teenagers? Other parents have suggested getting together in coffee shops while your kids are in House Groups. If you are interested in doing this, please contact Phil Mather at phil.mather@nhlc.org or 651-797-7870. Once they see who's interested, they'll start getting this new thing started! |
