It's time to share a vision for Biblical grandparenting.
Grandparents have an amazing potential to spiritually influence their grandchildren. Too, often grandparents can get caught up in the retirement culture and miss out on investing in the faith-life of their grandchildren.
Legacy Coalition is launching a national movement to impact the youngest generations through their families. This new ministry intends to share their vision by encouraging and equipping Christian grandparents, and their churches, with the goal of building a legacy of faith.
We invite you to join us as the Legacy Grandparenting Conference comes to the Quad Cities, with Larry Fowler and Josh Mulvihill, on Saturday, February 24th, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The conference will be held at Edgewood Baptist Church in Rock Island, IL
The costs is $35 per person, optional Chick fil A box lunch for $5.
Transportation provided from Bethany departing at 7:30 am.
