Parents, we have a very special opportunity coming to Shallowford Youth, on Sunday, January 21, 2024. Christian Educator Sophie Maness will be visiting us for a special workshop on healthy relationships, healthy sex, and healthy consent.

We believe the Church should be a place where we talk about all things. So, the question is asked – how do we talk about sex and relationships in the Church? That particularly means talking about how we hope that our youth interact in healthy ways with each other and with future relationships.

The Sunday Retreat is for youth aged 6th-12th grades. If there is enough interest, we will also offer a puberty workshop for 4th-5th graders on Saturday, January 20th. Questions? Reach out to Maggie Johnson or Rev. Landon Dillard.

Sophie is a certified Christian Educator with over 30 years of experience. She currently serves Westminster Presbyterian Church in Nashville TN. She has led lots of sexuality education workshops for all ages over the years. Joanne Stratton Tate trained her years ago. By staying up on new research and information her goal is to help families open up meaningful conversations at home in ways that are both healthy and faith-oriented.
