The 9-week Parenting on Purpose Video Series seeks to help parents make sense of all the information through proven and practical parenting solutions created by Dr. Bob Barnes. Dr. Barnes has a doctorate in counseling and received his education at Maryville College and Florida Atlantic University.

Book of the Month

With 9 Stories in 1, the fun never ends! "What Should Danny Do?" is an innovative, interactive book that empowers kids with the understanding that their choices will shape their days, and ultimately their lives into what they will be. Written in a "Choose Your Own Story" style, the book follows Danny, a Superhero-in-Training, through his day as he encounters choices that kids face on a daily basis. As your children navigate through the different story lines, they will begin to realize that their choices for Danny shaped his day into what it became. And in turn, their choices for themselves will shape their days, and ultimately their lives, into what they will be.

Movie of the Month


Wonder


Born with facial differences that, up until now, have prevented him from going to a mainstream school, Auggie Pullman becomes the most unlikely of heroes when he enters the local fifth grade. As his family, his new classmates, and the larger community all struggle to discover their compassion and acceptance, Auggie's extraordinary journey will unite them and prove you can't blend in when you were born to stand out.

Support Sessions

Attention POP Alumni - We are committed to supporting each person/family we encounter. We recognize that in these times, as parents, it's challenging to plan ahead or fit self-improvement into our already jam-packed schedules. The good news is that we can schedule time for a Parenting On Purpose Support Session (POPS) led by Brenda Williams, a wise and amazing mother and grandmother who is committed to growing families. Reply to this email to schedule your session today.
Calling All Volunteers
Cleft of the Rock is looking forward to even greater things in the coming year. We have been able to accomplish a lot over a short five-year period with the help of volunteers just like you! We are growing! Grow with us! Helping doesn't have to be complicated. Just use what you know how to do to help. That's called volunteering! We are always in need of new volunteers and would greatly appreciate your time in any way that you can contribute. If you have teenagers who need hours for school, any time they volunteer with us can count towards their goal...even virtually.

Volunteer today. Click on the link below to fill out the form, and we will contact you:
