"At first we were cringing that the congregation wouldn't like all this noise, but they love it. It's like, why aren't we all running down the aisle to communion?"
The Pathways to Prayer & Practice initiative invites congregations across the Diocese to explore how children can be more fully welcomed into the heart of worship. Through year-long learning cohorts, churches will have the opportunity to reflect, experiment, and grow in a supportive community of peers.
You don’t need a children’s choir, a full-time formation leader, or a large budget to be part of this work. Whether your church is already experimenting or just beginning to ask the questions, you are welcome here.
