But somewhere along the way, it’s easy to trade eternal priorities for cultural ones or carry burdens God never intended us to bear. In this interactive workshop, we’ll discover how the gospel reshapes our hearts, frees us from the pressure to be perfect, and reminds us that while we are raising our children, God is faithfully shaping us.

It’s an opportunity to pause, celebrate the gift and responsibility God has given you as a parent, and publicly commit to raising your children “in the training and instruction of the Lord” (Ephesians 6:4). And you’re not making that commitment alone. As you commit to disciple your children, Southbridge commits to come alongside you with prayer, encouragement, and support along the way. **What does Parent Commissioning look like?** **Parent Recognition | October 18 • Both Services** During our Sunday services, we’ll recognize parents who are making this intentional commitment and invite the Southbridge family to come alongside them. **Parent Commissioning Event | October 18 • After Second Service** Following the second service, we’ll gather with parents, family, friends, and small group members for a more personal time of celebration, encouragement, and prayer. Our desire is to equip, encourage, and send you into one of your most important places of discipleship—your home.

We’re headed to **Fort Caswell** for an incredible weekend at the beach. Students will experience truth, growth, and connection. This weekend features one of my personal favorite speakers, **Clayton King**! He’ll be speaking alongside his wife, **Sharie King**, and **Liberty Worship Collective will lead worship**. **THEME** Your Way's Better *“In a world full of mixed messages about relationships, identity, and sexuality, it can be hard to know what’s true—and what’s actually good for us. This fall, join us for a powerful weekend centered on the theme* ***Your Way’s Better****, as we explore God’s design for relationships and sexuality.”* [Info + Register](https://sfchurch.churchcenter.com/registrations/events/3900520)
