Barna Study: Who Has Intergenerational Friendships?
Posted by Liz Perraud at
A new Barna study shows that a majority of Americans report engaging in intergenerational friendships. One’s faith community, according to the study, influences the likelihood of cross-generational connections. Though not the most likely place to meet older or younger friends (that would be the workplace or through a mutual friend), meeting at church/place of worship far exceeded the reported experience of meeting through a mentorship program. Roxanne Stone, editor in chief of Barna Group observed that “these relationships do not seem to be developing through formal programs—fewer than one in 20 say they formed their intergenerational relationships through a mentor/mentee...
One Great Idea: Yoga with Our Youth

Rachael TisdaleArk and Dove Presbyterian ChurchOdenton, MD Winter seems to be a tough season for so many of us. The sun only makes brief appearances, and we start to feel confined inside. So, our Recreation Coordinator at LOGOS came up with a wonderful idea to help renew our body and our mind – Yoga Night!

Posted by Tracey Daniels at
Shirley CarlsonLa Crescenta Presbyterian Church My husband and I are snowbirds to Southern California where our son’s family with two of our grandchildren live. (We choose to get out of the brutal winters of the Mid-west.) Recently my granddaughter interviewed me for one of those grandmother’s story books. It has been a fun experience recalling and sharing with her some of my history. In an ideal world, grandparents would have easy access to their grandchildren, but in today’s mobile society, families are often separated by hundreds of miles. Fortunately, we can connect with FaceTime on our cell phones,...
Two Questions: Wendy Claire Barrie
Posted by Tracey Daniels at
Wendy Claire BarrieFamily FormationTrinity Church Wall StreetNew York, NY In each edition of GenOn Connect, we will ask someone the same two questions about intergenerational ministry: “What keeps you up at night?” and “What gets you up in the morning?” What keeps you up at night? Having worked with kids my entire professional life, I am utterly convinced that adults benefit as much or more from being in relationship with kids as kids benefit from relationships with significant adults. What keeps me awake at night is how to convince other adults that this is so: that their own faith will...
