Around The Table Faith Formation Resources for all ages

Engaging Children in Worship Perspectives for Churches to Consider by Mimi L. Larson, Ph.D. Children’s Ministry Catalyzer from Thrive

Roots & Wings: Intergenerational Formation Collaborative (R&W) is Lilly grant awarded to Virginia Theological Seminary. Their leadership team is focusing on empowering congregations to practice vibrant intergenerational worship. They have a three-pronged approach where they will research the ways in which intergenerational worship forms faith, resource church leaders with culturally contextual offerings on intergenerational worship, and reform worship practices across the church to deepen the ways in which worship forms people of all ages

Font and Faith is an initiative that is committed to walking with and resourcing churches and families as we live into the promises made in baptism. It is funded by a Lilly grant at the Center for Excellence in Christian Education at Union Seminary
