A. Family Discipleship Seminar Promotional materials.

B. Family Discipleship Form to be returned to Rev. Mahon two weeks before the seminar.

All seminars whose attendance is to be made up primarily by members of a single congregation, must have the pastor’s blessing before sponsoring a seminar, even if it is not being held at the church building.

As you plan your seminar, it is good to keep abreast of the progress of registration. If it is a church-wide seminar which is being presented at no cost, then the three keys to attendance are Communication, Communication and Communication. Announcements in the Sunday School hour and from the pulpit should begin at least one month before the seminar.

If it is a ministry group, Sunday School class or retreat planned by the church, then we recommend that pre-registration include at least 50% of the total cost and be non-refundable. This will help you get a realistic figure of those attending. Some church groups have a history of almost 90% attendance of oral commitments while others have experienced a figure as low as 10%. If you are unsure of the history of your group, check with the church secretary or pastor. If there are no figures available, we suggest that you anticipate a very conservative figure, about 25% of oral commitments.

The full seminar consists of nine 45-minute sessions. This may be expanded to include question and answer periods. We suggested that a 30-minute coffee break be planned into the sessions if they are to go through the afternoon. You are of course free to put together whatever schedule you feel best meets your needs.

The seminar is designed to be followed up by small group Bible studies. It is an excellent vehicle to promote this within your church or ministry. If this is the case, we suggest that the seminar schedule include at least one session where Rev. Mahon meets with just the small group leaders. Usually a morning session for breakfast or before breakfast is best for this.

If you are not hosting a full seminar then you should prayerfully choose from the topics below:

Authority of the Word of God

Scriptural Basis of Discipling and Training

The Training Process

Suggested Levels of Discipline

Wisdom and Life Skills

Fathers and Mothers

The Spiritual Development of Your Child

Drawing Near To Your Child By Helping Your Child To Be A Success

Drawing Near To Your Child Through Play And Affection

Transitioning To Adulthood

WHETHER YOUR CHILDREN ARE wild Indians or little angels, you will enjoy hearing John share principles from the Word of God which will equip you for parenting through his Family Discipleship Seminar - Your Children, Fun Or Frenzy.

λ Do your children embarrass you in public?

λ Do your children come when you call?

λ Do your children amuse themselves quietly on trips in the car or at home?

λ Are meal times a family treasure or torture?

These are just a few of the many questions John will address as he shares principles of God’s Word in his Family Discipleship Seminar. There is no reason to give up on the dream of a peaceful, fulfilling and loving family.

Rev. Mahon draws upon his over 25 years of ministry experience as Youth Minister, Collegiate Minister, Associate Pastor, Pastor and Missionary Conference Speaker in bringing these truths to us. Married for over 25 years, with four children ranging from High to college, married, John brings with him a first - hand knowledge of the problems and issues facing modern parents today and their solutions, from a distinctly Biblical perspective.
