Intergenerational Spiritual Care and Nature

Course Description: Semester class led by Debbie Gline Allen. For general education and/or MESOM certificate credit (PASTORAL CARE). Many of our churches do not have a ‘specialist’ in children’s education but serve small towns where a full life span is present in relationships across generations. This course will engage participants in developing ministry to all ages, centering the times and places where that of God in one person meets with that of God in another. With pastoral and lay leaders in mind, background will be provided in theology, developmental growth, spiritual practices and pastoral care. Practical application will support a congregation’s intergenerational spiritual life.

ONLINE Tuesdays: Feb 3 / Feb 10 / Feb 24 / Mar 3 / Mar 10 / Mar 24 / Apr 14 / April 28 / May 5 / May 19 (6:00-8:30)
