Dear Parents of Congregation Lion of Judah,

God’s design for families is that children be reared with a mother and father. But the reality and brokenness of our world is that a lot of families are currently single-parent families headed by women. These sisters or in some cases, brothers, need the church’s support, understanding, and love in their task of being parents, providers, spiritual guides, and heads of the house.

Tomorrow night we talk honestly with Angelina Camacho about her single-parenting journey. Angie has been a single mom since her son was born and she shares her experience and the lessons she has learned along the way. Now a teen, her son is an example of a thriving young man and a testament to God’s mercy grace, and deep love for his children who are single-parenting.

Join us in this instructive conversation tomorrow, March 27th at 7:30 pm.

Takeaways from the program:

Planning and strategizing is key to single-parenting.

Assess your community and Asset Map.

Be okay with not being a mom and dad to your kids.
