Bethany UMC’s Living in Faith Together Dinner Church (LIFT) pilot came to an end before Holy Week.  I am surprised by how much I miss our gatherings!

Even in churches with few or no children, intergenerational ministry can be a practical strategy for building relationships and enriching worship and other times congregations gather.

Suzie Lane, resource director for GenOn Ministries, led a session last week during the conference of the Presbyterian Older Adult Ministries Network, which met at First Presbyterian Church in Knoxville, Tennessee.

"On an average Sunday morning, you really only get to talk to members of your church community for 10-15 minutes following the service. The retreat is a simple way to connect as a church community, both with each other, and with God."

An intergenerational church retreat at St. Matthew's Episcopal in Richmond, Virginia, brought all ages together for fun, growth, and memories. The leaders used GenOn Ministries' The Church Family Gathers for Retreat as their ready-made curriculum.
