Last weekend, we visited one of our cohort members at Pilgrim Lutheran Church in St. Paul, MN. We found a new question taking shape: What might be possible when all generations begin Sunday faith formation together?
Zach Spirov, Director of Faith Formation, welcomed us with generous hospitality and invited us to walk through the church with fresh eyes, wondering together what helps children and families participate and belong. Through faith shared across generations, lay voices preaching the Word, the Gospel being read & signed in ASL, and children and adults sharing in the life of the church, it is evident that belonging is being made and felt visibly in worship and in the community at Pilgrim Lutheran.
