Empower Families to Practice Faith at Home
Faith formation can’t happen if children and youth are spending just one hour a week at church – or much less these days, so what are the barriers families encounter
when trying to establish faith practices at home?
The Rev. Traci Smith, author of Faithful Families, joins us on May 5 at 12:00pm to present the fundamentals of developing faithful family practices and outline the role that ministry leaders play in encouraging and supporting families. Discover how to help parents feel confident and well equipped as they nurture their children’s faith development, at every age. We’ll also spend time in an “Idea Lab” learning and sharing in small groups and we’ll wrap up the webinar with Q&A.
Now is the perfect time for families to develop real habits and practices of faith at home. Following the webinar, participants will receive links to several short videos and
outlines of spiritual practices that you can share with your congregation.
