Two Questions: Dave Csinos
Posted by Liz Perraud at
Dave CsinosAssociate Professor, Atlantic School of Theology, Halifax, Nova Scotia Founder, Faith Forward In each edition of IG Mix, we ask a guest writer two questions about serving in ministry. What keeps you up at night? It’s been a rough few years. With the the pandemic continuing to rear its head and political turmoil on every channel, there’s a lot to be worried about. And yet there is one issue that keeps me tossing and turning: climate change. My family just celebrated my daughter’s first birthday. Amidst our joy and laughter, I felt an ongoing uneasiness deep...

Loving Others Through Intergenerational Service
Posted by Liz Perraud at
Liz Perraud Executive Director, GenOn Ministries Part 4 of a 4 Part Series: GenOn Ministries defines intergenerational ministry as nurturing Christ-centered community by bringing together two or more generations in planned and purposeful settings, where all are mutually invested. Intergenerational ministry is more than faith formation curriculum. It is about infusing the whole church with an ethos—the characteristic spirit of the community guided by its beliefs or ideas. Eventually, this intergenerational spirit impacts everyone and everything. Where to begin? We have identified four ministry areas for the church: worship, study, service, and fellowship.

Two years ago, we gathered in Colorado and West Virginia for GenOn Summit 2019. It was, as usual, a wonderful experience of living together in Christian Community. With a pandemic sweeping the globe, the leadership was forced to make the difficult decision to postpone the Summit until the summer of 2022. This forced hiatus has given rise to the creation of one...

Clothed in Christ: Two Weeks of the GenOn Youth Summits
Posted by Liz Perraud at
GenOn’s Youth Summit Coordinator, Kelly Burnett, journaled her way through Summit East and West 2018 to provide a small glimpse of what it is like to experience each week of this kingdom of God living. High school youth, young adults, and their adult leaders return summer after summer to grow in Christ-centered relationships with people across geographical and denominational lines, and to deepen their relationship with God. We are grateful beyond measure for the leaders who plan and produce these annual youth summits, a core component of the ministry of GenOn for nearly 50 years. As Kelly always asks, “Will...
