 |
| Attendees are participating in a programme at a parents meeting hosted by the Seoul James Tribe Church student council held at Seoul Church in Junggye-dong, Nowon-gu, Seoul on 17th January. |
Shincheonji Church of Jesus in Seoul (Seoul James Tribe) recently held a meaningful parent meeting, designed to enhance mutual understanding and communication between parents and children through faith.
On the afternoon of the 17th January, the 'Local Churches Joint Student Council Parents' Meeting' was held at the Seoul James Church. In attendance were parents from branch churches of Seoul, Pocheon, and Guri (among others), providing a platform for exchanges of warm dialogue and empathy between parents.
- Part 1: a lecture by the Seoul James Tribe Leader underlining the importance of communication between parents and children by understanding the causes of conflicts that surface during parenting and offering practical guidance to enhance mutual understanding and harmony within the skeleton of faith.
- Part 2: quiz programme, based on student surveys, with questions like, "What do you most want to hear from your parents?", providing parents with a fresh perspective on their children.
- Part 3: in-depth small group discussions between parents on diverse topics such as the values they wish to impart to their children and how to impart faith through encouragement rather than coercion.
Participants shared their reflections:-
Pocheon Church member Minji Ahn (35) said, “I realised that I need patience to wait until my children discover the value of faith on their own.”
Through the Parents' Meeting, it is being proven that student-led initiatives can foster healthy dialogue between families and churches on children's growth and ways to pass on the values of faith in a constructive manner.
