The Connections Team would like to thank the Consistory for their support in allowing us to host the Connected Families parenting event at the Performing Arts Center in the Luverne High School. Thank you to all of the volunteers who helped make this event possible with a special shout out to the Jr/Sr High youth and sponsors for providing the child care. It was our prayer that those who participated would walk away with practical tools and tips on how to parent their children in a way that connects to their heart and we know that happened! Approximately 180 adults and 80 children participated in this event as well as 6 churches and 13 area businesses who financially supported it! It was truly a community effort and that equals success!
