Parents are the primary disciple-makers in a child’s life, and so we are always looking for ways to equip and support parents in discipling their children and teenagers. There are a couple of resources, courses, and books you might find helpful: 

Information on Baptism, Confirmation & Dedication. If you're interested in finding out more about baptism, confirmation, or dedication (and what it looks like in the Anglican Church), download and read this is a helpful guide: https://www.stbarts.com.au/resource-training-centre/baptism-resources

Book: “5 Things to Pray for Your Kids”. This is a really easy to use book, which provides a guide for simple, biblical prayers to pray for your children. St Bart’s Kids has discounted copies for $5 each, as we think every family will find this helpful. You can also subscribe to St Bart’s Kids Facebook or Instagram, where we will be sharing a prayer prompt each weekday.

Resource: Lord’s Prayer Magnet Set. This is designed by St Bart’s Kids to help your family learn and be reminded of the Lord's Prayer. Each set includes 10 round magnets, a print out of the Lord's Prayer, and some suggestions on how to use them. This could also be a great gift for grandchildren! Order a set online ($20 each).

Course: Parenting Teenagers Course. Rescheduled now for Term 4, this 5-week course is for parents, step-parents, prospective parents or carers of teenagers aged 11-18 years. The topics covered include: keeping the long term aid in mind, meeting your teenager’s need, setting clear boundaries, developing emotional health, and helping them make good choices. Register your interest online or with our office. We’d love to see you there! https://www.stbarts.com.au/events/parenting-teenagers-course-2025
