SUMMARY:Dads Group
DESCRIPTION:Purpose\nWant to be more intentional in the way you approach being a dad? Want to have the chance to get to know some other dads? Want to be exposed to different ideas about parenthood and have the chance to discuss them? How do you make all these things happen in one magical place? Dads Group (now with bacon!). \nWho is this for?\nDads—new dads still trying to figure out how to change a diaper\, dads of teenagers\, grandads trying to figure out how to be a positive role in the lives of their grandchildren and grown-up children\, and even not-yet-dads who’d like to come. \nWe will be approaching the topic of parenting from a religious perspective—particularly a New Church Christian perspective. Any dad is invited to participate\, as long as you are not antagonistic to that perspective. \nFormat\nThis will be in a discussion group format. We will have brief check-ins at the beginning\, as a way to get to know each other’s names. I will be there as a facilitator not as an expert. We will end each time with giving each person a chance to share a closing thought and then we will pray together. We will stick to an hour and a half for the more formal group time with more time afterwards to talk and hang out informally for those that want to stick around. \nIn the middle\, this time we will have a check-in about how being a dad is going.  \n2) Dad Check-ins\nWhen it’s a check-in about being a dad\, each person will pick a question to respond to from long list of prompts (e.g. “What are you working on as a dad right now?” “What is something bizarre or hilarious that your kid said or did recently?” “What is something you’re praying about as a dad?”) and we’ll have a conversation from there. Often\, to improve as dads\, we don’t need to learn something new so much as we need to find the clarity and motivation to do what we already know we should be doing.  \nView the full list of Dads Group Discussion Prompts (PDF). \nFood: Breakfast Now on Offer\nWe will now be cooking breakfast as part of Dads Group! We will provide coffee\, eggs\, bacon\, and toast. If you’d like to bring something else to supplement (fruit\, hot sauce\, bagels\, etc.)\, please do so. If you’d like to help with cooking on a particular date\, please let Malcolm know. If you’d like to contribute to the cost of the food\, bring a few bucks to put in the donation bowl\, or donate online. \nLocation & Timing\nThe new location for Dads Group is the kitchen in the Church Office at 600 Tomlinson Rd. Please park in the upper lot by the BACS sports fields (to avoid causing challenges for teachers and parents) and walk down the sidewalk to the back door of the kitchen (door #34).
