What Are We Learning from the Pandemic?
Posted by Liz Perraud at
Liz PerraudExecutive DirectorGenOn Ministries My grandmother introduced me to hot tea at a young age. I love it, and I’m picky about how I drink it. Black tea, nothing fancy, decaffeinated, brewed dark, squeeze of lemon, no sugar. I reheat (and reheat) it if I don’t drink it quickly enough so that it stays hot. I have little “lemon” packets to take when I travel so that I always have my lemon flavor. Oh sure, I’ll drink black tea plain or even green tea, but I’m just enduring it. Until this pandemic hit.

And it closes its ears to the prophetic challenges they present. God welcomes...

Sunday LIFT helped me bring some intentionality to our experiences together and made a lot of the planning less intense. LIFT encouraged a change in format to our Confirmation Class gatherings. One of the biggest questions I left the...

Becoming Intentionally Intergenerational
Posted by Tracey Daniels at
Rev. Dr. Christian D. Boyd Pastor, Southminster PC (USA), Waukesha, Wisconsin Stated Clerk, Presbytery of Milwaukee PC (USA) Southminster Presbyterian Church (USA) in Waukesha, Wisconsin, four years ago discerned its core values and practices as a part of its 50-year anniversary and the kickoff of strategic planning. One of the core values articulated was around Christian formation for all ages and participation in God’s mission. In short, Southminster is called to be intergenerational. The ramifications of this are rethinking how we do Christian education and Sunday school, especially in light of the multiple time commitments of...
