Taking Attendance
Posted by Liz Perraud at
Often the simplest things are the most important things--particularly when it comes to growing relationships with young people. May we never stop listening or seeing them. Enjoy this piece written by my dear friend Kim Flyr, a counselor and former school counselor and teacher. Seeing the Child in the Student On the first day of kindergarten, there is no lack of hope and joy walking in the front door of our schools. As a career elementary teacher and then counselor in our public schools, I have spent many first days ostensibly “helping out” in Kindergarten, but I was really there to...
GenOn Training – Beyond the LOGOS Church
Posted by Liz Perraud at
by Betsy Dishman, GenOn Training Coordinator "I wish I could help our volunteers grow more comfortable with establishing classroom discipline in our church." (See below: Discipline with Love) "I wish I could empower families to talk about faith at home." (See below: Growing Faith at Home) "I wish my folks understood more about intergenerational ministry." (See below: Intergenerational Ministry: The Why and How) "I wish there was a way to discuss our children's and youth ministries to strengthen them for the future." (See below: Achieving Excellence in Children and Youth Ministry) “I wish we could do LOGOS, but the timing...
Parents Corner: Helping Your Child Develop Leadership Skills
Posted by Liz Perraud at
By Shirley Carlson, La Crescenta Presbyterian Church, California "Today's children are tomorrow's leaders, especially if those children have parents who are leaders." One could also say today's leaders are often the result of a childhood where they had the opportunity to learn leadership skills. To learn more ways to help your child learn these skills, check out this article. Helping your child build up his confidence is important. Children and teens can be exposed to opportunities that will help him or her become more self assured and willing to take on leadership opportunities. I believe my leadership skills came largely from...

GenOn Exists to Serve You
Posted by Liz Perraud at
Equipping Christian communities for discipleship through intergenerational relationships is the mission of GenOn Ministries. We exist as an organization to provide church leaders what you need to grow disciples. We love being in relationship so that we can do ministry together. What happens at our training? “Aha!” lightbulbs go off, concepts are presented, and ideas are shared about the “why,” the “what,” the “who” and the “how” of excellent ministry. What do you do with our resources? You use them as tools to implement great intergenerational ministry. Do you have ideas for new training topics or new resources that could...
Parents Corner: Partnering with Young People
Posted by Liz Perraud at
By Shirley Carlson What does it mean to "partner" with children and youth? Do we treat them as equal partners in our churches and at home? Do we want to? How does God answer that question? Jesus said, "Let the children come unto me." There are other references to partnering with youth in the Bible as well. "Truly I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 18:3-4). God intends for us to learn from each other....
