Classes on Active Parenting will be conducted by Rev. Mike Chamberlain, pastor of Madisonville Presbyterian Church. This 12-hour non-denominational course will be offered in four sessions of three hours each to be held on Sunday afternoons from 3-5 p.m. in the fellowship hall, March 21, 28, April 11 and 18.

Participants will learn simple yet effective parenting skills that will lead to more harmony for you and your children.  You'll leave each session energized and motivated to make changes in your family's daily routine that will lead to greater happiness in every room of the house.
