Generations of Faith
Contact: John Sweet |
All familes in our Religious Education program attend this monthly program. Generations of Faith is a once-a-month, intergenerational program for the whole family - parents, teens, and children. After praying and sharing together, our group divides by age for faith education sessions. We conclude together again for prayer and sharing.
