Information and Practice -- Learn: Step 3 in Becoming Intentionally Intergenerational
Posted by Liz Perraud at
Liz PerraudExecutive DirectorGenOn Ministries I thought it would be fun to play Cat’s Cradle with my six-year-old granddaughter. Maybe you remember the string game from childhood. The game begins when one player creates the starting figure (called Cat’s Cradle) on their hands and fingers. The next player pinches or grabs the string and winds their hands around in a particular way to transfer the loop to their hands, creating a new figure. And then it returns to the first player to create a third figure by manipulating the string loop. Back and forth, repeating a limited number...

Liz PerraudExecutive DirectorGenOn Ministries I love the idea of Discover. Maybe it goes back to my days of reading Nancy Drew or Encyclopedia Brown detective stories. Discover invokes feelings of excitement and newness; the experience of surprise or “aha” moments in the midst of an intentional quest. When our two-year-old granddaughter rounds the corner of the paved path, glimpsing the swings and slide (that she didn’t remember were going to be on our walk), her whole body erupts with her discovery of “the pway-ground!!” Wouldn’t it be fun and energizing for your church to experience the same...

Seminary Corner: The Joy of Shared Life
Posted by Liz Perraud at
Andre Jordan “AJ” Wallace Second-Year Student Princeton Seminary AJ, right, in an intergenerational Sunday morning ministry during his internship. I had the joy of working at a church for the first time this summer. I held very little to no expectations about how the summer would unfold. While I can say numerous things about the wonderful experience I had as a seminary intern, I want to share what I believe was one of the greatest lessons I learned this summer – the power of presence. More specifically, the power of people showing up in...
