Community Heights to host Parents Night Out

Guest speaker to teach parenting seminar

Community Heights Alliance Church is set to host a Parents Night Out event next month with guest speaker Karen Alexander Doyel.

The community is welcome to attend the free parenting seminar at 6:30 p.m. April 8, with refreshments and child care provided.

Doyel is an inspirational speaker from Tennessee who has shared her testimony both nationally and internationally, and she is making her way to Newton after a Community Heights Alliance Church member reached out to her.

Cheryl McClurg, a member of Community Heights Alliance Church, said she first heard Doyel speak at a women’s retreat, and she felt her teachings would be interesting to bring to the Newton community.

Doyel speaks about numerous topics, and during the Newton event, she will focus on mothers and fathers and raising children to know and love Jesus.

The seminar is titled “Teaching your Children to Love Jesus” and will include seven bullet points. The event is not just for parents but for grandparents and even for individuals who don’t have children yet.

“This event is for people to begin to learn about God’s plan for raising children,” McClurg said.

Doyel was a pastor’s wife for 28 years and after the death of her husband, God opened doors for her to share her journey.

“She is a conference speaker, Bible study teacher, seminar leader, women’s inspirational speaker and has written several studies that are on CDs,” Doyel’s website states. “She is a Lifeway Ministry Multiplier and teaches across the country and world.”

McClurg said Doyel’s teachings focus on seeking Him with all your heart.

“We would truly love to see people that have children attend,” McClurg said. “If anyone has questions at the end, she (Doyel) will take the time to answer them.”

Attendees are asked to sign up at Community Heights Alliance Church if they plan to attend or contact the church at 641-792-1620.
