Lutheran Hour Ministries is unveiling a new program to help churches reach out to families in their communities with the love of Christ and a world-class resource. This six-week DVD series, entitled Parenting Families from ME to WE, is based on a parenting concept originated by Dr. David Ludwig, a leading Christian psychologist, counselor, and author.

Each weekly video segment features three significant parts:

• A presentation of the main concept by Dr. Ludwig;
• Insights from Monique Nunes, a principal, early childhood educator, and mother, who takes the concept and applies it to real-life situations;
• Pastor Ben Gonzales sharing personal ways to underscore the unconditional truth and love of Jesus Christ so that it resonates with people no matter where they are in their relationship with Jesus.

“Stressors from every direction impact today’s families and many of us could use some fresh insights and support from fellow parents for optimum family health,” says the Rev. Steve Siegel, Director of the United States Ministries division for LHM. “This need is an opportunity for churches to connect with families in their local community. Member and non-member families alike will benefit from practical and engaging workshops.”

Churches signing up for this program will receive a hosting kit containing:

• A DVD of the six sessions
• A CD of customizable multimedia downloads, containing publicity and participant materials
• Promotional brochures
• A package of invitation postcards
• Booklet samples from LHM’s Project Connect booklet display ministry
• A printed hosting guide, including preparation and volunteer notes for promotion through follow-up
