Fall Holy Hike
Posted by Liz Perraud at
Christ Memorial Presbyterian in Columbia, Maryland holds regular intergenerational gatherings we call GIFT (Generations In Faith Together) in addition to Wednesday evening LOGOS. GIFT has included meals, biblically themed discussions, and activities (like GenOn’s LIFT), service projects (like massive meal packing events), and off-site trips (like to Sight & Sound Theater). Due to a major church renovation and more than two years of Covid, we struggled to hold GIFT “regularly,” so it was certainly time for a fall GIFT event. We turned to GenOn’s God’s World in Community: Creation Care for a holy hike. The holy hike comes from God’s...
Two Questions: Roberta J. Egli
Posted by Tracey Daniels at
Rev. Roberta J. EgliExecutive DirectorMessy Church USA In each edition of IG Mix, we ask a guest writer two questions about serving in ministry. What keeps you up at night?I lead a ministry focused on the positive quality of being “Messy.” However, when I have trouble sleeping, it is because of my internal struggle to organize the mess that keeps me awake. I am a planner and organizer; I like to create lists that I can mark “done.” Inviting and encouraging others to engage in intergenerational ministry is not a neat and tidy item that is ever “done,”...
Genuine Intergenerational Relationships: Start with a Name
Posted by Tracey Daniels at
Liz PerraudExecutive DirectorGenOn Ministries My husband and I walk our oldest grandchild to school most mornings. We live about a half-mile from the elementary school, and it takes about 12 minutes to get there (we’ve timed it). Longer if you pause to inspect caterpillars, Halloween decorations, or bright green cars. Shorter if you run to catch up with Grandpa. As we approach the school, there’s a crossing guard to help us get safely across a busy street. The first week of school, the guard asked our granddaughter her name, and she happily shared it. Every day since...
Two Questions: Holly Allen
Posted by Liz Perraud at
Holly AllenAuthorRetired Professor of Family Science and Christian MinistriesLipscomb University, Nashville In each edition of IG Mix, we ask a guest writer two questions about serving in ministry. What keeps you up at night? Words. Before I sleep, I often consider what I have written that day. I am currently working on a revised, updated edition of Intergenerational Christian Formation with co-authors Christine Lawton and Cory Seibel. So I am daily writing, deleting, re-writing, shuffling—creating new sentences and paragraphs for this book. And at night, I think about those words. Is there a better way to help people...
