Loading...The Dioceses of Lexington and Kentucky have organized a comprehensive program of Christian Formation workshops for what they are billing as "Christian Education Day" next month. The daylong conference, meeting in Lexington, should offer something for anyone interested in the formation of their congregations' children, youth and adults.
Thirteen workshops are scheduled, the agenda including such titles as "Steeple Envy: Loving Your Group" (youth formation); "Faith at Home"; "Children's Chapel as Formation for All Ages" and "Builders, Boomers and Busters." A workshop on "Thinking Outside the Box" will look at "using Godly Play with those suffering from dementia." Another on "Children and Worship" will explore how to create childspace without losing adults. Other workshops address topics involving curriculum selection, campus ministries, the Episcopal Relief and Development's formation opportunities, Godly Play, starting a youth ministry, life-long learning, and ministering to the 20-somethings.
Sharon Eli Pearson, Christian formation specialist for Church Publishing, will give the keynote address. She has 10 years experience in children's ministries and has served as the Christian education coordinator for the Diocese of Connecticut. Read more.
