Single Parent Families
June 24, 2011 by Oasis-Church-NJ.com
This may surprise you: There are now more single parent families (30%) in the US than two parent family households (24%). Yet, most churches continue to give a backseat to single parent families as the traditional nuclear family remains the primary ministry focus. This remains true even in NJ where single parent families (families run by single parents) have increased more than four times as fast as married-couple families since 2000.
According to our extensive online survey of singles and church attendance, the above facts leaves many single parents feeling like “second class citizens” and a large majority end up avoiding church all together. How sad!
Additionally, there are many difficulties surrounding being a parent, single or married, in the 21st Century, and this is one of the reasons we are beginning a 4 week Parenting Seminar Series beginning 7.17.11 at 11am at Oasis Church located at 1180 Spruce Dr, Mountainside.

-
The top 5 gifts you can give your kids in the 21st Century
-
How to keep warm heart lines of communication open with your kids
-
How to build your kids’ self-confidence and yours as a parent
So, whether they’re bawling, crawling, walking, talking, driving you crazy or asking to drive your car, kids are a gift from God . But we could probably all use some clear guidance and insight on how to raise them to be happy, focused and full of good old common sense, rather than leaving you frustrated, frazzled and fatigued.
