This set of dynamic leaders are all here on purpose, all hailing from a very young church, Go For God Family Church, Jamaica. These attendees are God's warriors looking to fight out all evil that threatens to tear apart families and exploit children. Hence why Parenting on Purpose, is so important. They are currently on week four of this series and so far, say this course has revealed so much to them. Some of their key takeaways thus far are; I.C.E, Insturction, Consequence, Exercise, and these two extremely impactful phrase; "Raising Adults, Not Children" and "Raising Decision Makers". It has opened their eyes to the comfort decisions they make today, that may have a negative imapct tomorrow on the younger generation, and therefore the importance of being disiciplined today, to enable a disiciplined, decision making, generation who are equipped with "Impulse Control". |

"Be Kind is a sweet and thoughtful picture book about kindness that gets the message across without being heavy handed." - Seira Wilson, Amazon Editor
A New York Times bestseller!
“These days, it seems more important than ever for books to show young people how to act with thoughtfulness, civility, and kindness.” ―The New York Times Book Review
When Tanisha spills grape juice all over her new dress, her classmate wants to make her feel better, wondering: What does it mean to be kind?
From asking the new girl to play to standing up for someone being bullied, this moving story explores what kindness is, and how any act, big or small, can make a difference―or at least help a friend.
With a gentle text from the award-winning author of Sophie's Squash, Pat Zietlow Miller, and irresistible art from Jen Hill, Be Kind is an unforgettable story about how two simple words can change the world.

Parenting on Purpose
Support Sessions
Cleft of the Rock Foundation, Inc. has officially started our Parenting on Purpose Support Sessions. If you have completed the Parenting on Purpose video series we invite you to participate. We are committed to supporting each family we encounter. We recognize that in these times, as parents, it’s incredibly difficult to plan ahead or fit self-improvement into our already jam-packed schedules. From commutes to our destinations, extra-curricular activities, work and/or overtime, or a million other time-consumers, it can seem impossible to keep your head above water, much less commit to getting somewhere. Even if you will leave that somewhere fulfilled, refreshed, and better equipped to parent deliberately. The good news is, 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.
