60 Years of Nurturing Intergenerational Relationships in Churches

Posted by Tracey Daniels at

From two pastors who "grew up" in LOGOS midweek ministry: “The power of intergenerational connection through LOGOS has been central to my approach to ministry. While the trend among many churches is to have separate events (and even worship) for children and youth, my own experience of these multigenerational connections later revealed to me how formational that was to my own journey of faith. But if there is one foundational understanding that has stuck with me throughout the years, it is the one on the buttons we used to make and wear: ‘I am a Child of God.’” Rev. Mark...

Two Questions: Dora Sawh

Dora SawhFirst Presbyterian ChurchJamaica Queens, NY       What keeps me up at night? As coordinator of Kid’s Church, I’ve been there long enough to be teaching second generation families.  I have watched our children grow up, go to college and settle elsewhere.
