How does camp matter?
Posted by Liz Perraud at
Does camp make a difference? Vibrant Faith reports that the recent Effective Camp Research Project provides concrete information on the impact of a one-week Christian camp experience on “the lives of the primary participants and their supporting networks.” Phase 1 of the study, based on three camps in Wisconsin associated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, gathered data from camp participants age 11-14 years old, their parents, camp staff and directors, and church professionals visiting the camps. The study identified 5 fundamental characteristics of camp: Relational environment (meeting new people, practicing reconciliation) Participatory (providing active, kinesthetic activities characterized as fun)...

Nothing fancy. Except for Wacky Wednesday when we threw in some leftover diced...

Sense of Belonging through Intergenerational Worship
Posted by Liz Perraud at
Blog post by Shirley Carlson, Board of Directors of GenOn Ministries Increasingly, churches are recognizing the benefit of including all ages in the ministries of their church, including worship. GenOn Ministries strongly encourages congregations to involve the generations together in ways that allow each generation to value and learn from each other. Intergenerational sharing has proven to be the most impactful way of stimulating faith development. I once was a member of a large church where the youth and the children’s programs were segregated. Not surprisingly, the adults in worship, who did not have children or youth, never saw these...
