Board members, teachers and staff of La Cañada Presbyterian Church’s Parent Education Program gathered Monday night at Board Member Sue Mercer’s La Cañada home to toast the Christmas season and conduct their year-end board meeting.

Highlights of the night included: a Christmas potluck, reflections on their 2011 accomplishments including extensive global outreach, devotion by Director Anne Bierling, and announcements of new initiates for 2012.

Parent Ed is excited about their second semester, which begins February 2012. Parents are also welcome to join classes now if space is available. Class listings and online registration are available at www.lacanadapc.org/parented.

For 33 years, LCPC’s Parent Education Program has maintained its legacy of quality education and reputable staff. Currently, the program offers 13 parent education classes per week for parents of children who are newborns through age 18. Parents of children zero through five attend Parent & Child Classes, while parents of elementary, tween and teen children attend Parent Only Classes.

Approximately 400 parents and children from 22 cities come on campus every week for parent education—driving from a 30 mile radius of La Canada.

La Cañada Presbyterian Church (LCPC) began in 1948 with 158 members and a vision to reach the world for Jesus Christ. That early church was built quite literally on faith and charity from remainder brick and an operating budget that turned just about all of its revenue into active ministry. Through 65 years of outreach, LCPC grew to 2,000 active attendees doing ministry throughout Southern California and in 40 countries around the world. In 2010 the church completed a campus expansion which doubled its physical base for ministry and kept its historical sanctuary as the heart of the new grounds.
