Helping parents do family better

On Aug 23, 2017, the public internet will celebrate 26 years

Today - my firstborn, Trevor is 20 and my youngest, Evan is 18
During the years of raising my kids, the world's landscape changed dramatically.  When I was pregnant, the best selling book (which I had to buy at the bookstore) was "What To Expect When Expecting."

When my boys were small, I attended MOPS and eagerly awaited the monthly newsletter that the president handed out each month.  As they got a little older, we started attending Sunday School at COTHA and again, I eagerly awaited the MAILED newsletter.  

Oh, how I wish I had the technology then that we have today.

Today we have instant access to tens of thousands of websites, apps, blogs, Instagram profiles, FaceBook pages, etc.  It's both a beautiful and vexing situation for parents looking for relevant information and guidance to raise their children.

Where to even begin?
HERE AT COTHA!

We have been an ORANGE church for several years now.  What is Orange?  The concept came from the idea that BOTH the FAMILY and the CHURCH loved children.  But the CHURCH only has access to children once a week, for an hour, while the FAMILY is with the child much more.  

If you assign YELLOW (light of the world) to the CHURCH and RED (love) to the FAMILY, you get ORANGE!  

It's the CHURCH and FAMILY working together to RAISE children in love with the Lord!

And let's face the harsh truth.  Raising children amidst the chaos of today's world is increasingly challenging, and yet we are commanded to raise our children knowing the Lord.
Let's Work Together!

On August 27th, COTHA is hosting an open house at 9a.  We invite you to visit classrooms and chat with our teachers and leaders to learn more about how COTHA wants to help you do family better.
