The Church Post-Sunday School: How to Be Intergenerational
Come explore ways in which churches are successfully being intergenerational in worship, education, and service, among other areas of ministry. Integrating children and youth into the full life of a parish is a sign of vitality among churches that are growing. We'll share what works in a variety of church contexts, the struggles, and the research that supports this approach, not only for the good of the church but for the development of a lifelong faith.
