Faith Formation in Christian Practices for Everyday Life
Greetings! I am proud to announce the 2008 Summer Seminar on faith formation in Christian practices. The Summer Seminar is the result of work we have been doing to create new resources and approaches for nurturing faith at home through Christian practices. Every church is looking for ways to help families and households at every stage of life practice their faith in daily life. We have developed exciting new resources for families and individuals to use at home and faith formation programs for churches to use in educating and supporting people in living Christian practices. The Summer Seminar program will provide you with the knowledge, skills, tools, and resources you need to make faith formation in Christian practices an essential element in your church's faith formation efforts.Join us for one of the four seminar programs and experience this new approach to faith formation.
