Thanks to everyone who joined our formation gathering on Saturday! We are so encouraged and enriched by each of your ministries and are grateful for the special time spent together looking at Christian Formation with fresh eyes. 


We hope this gathering served as a useful day for planning, reflection, and renewal for the program year ahead.


Below, we have included a variety of resources, including the slide deck from The Rev. Jenifer Gamber's keynote address. Please note that we did not include the audio recording from the keynote due to some sound quality issues from microphone interference.


If you have any follow up questions or comments you'd like to share about the gathering or formation in general, please don't hesitate to reach out to us! Save the date of Wednesday, October 12 from 2-3 p.m. for a Formation Zoom to discuss any more insights from our formation gathering, check in about the beginning of the year, and to share seasonal resources.

 

Blessings,
