Shifting from Many Ages in Worship to Worship for All Ages

·        Learning from soft space gone wrong
·        Reimagining intergenerational ministry
·        Preparing worship that actively engages and equally values all ages

Join us this fall to learn from Sarah Bentley Allred about “worship for ALL AGES.”  We will learn, talk, dream, and wonder about the how, why, and what of intergenerational worship. Topics including learning from soft space gone wrong, reimagining intergenerational ministry, and preparing worship that engages and equally values ALL AGES. We will come together to build community, glean wisdom from our speaker and from each other, and leave energized for the year of ministry ahead. This event is open to all volunteers, educators, seminary students and pastors. *This will be a hybrid event with an online attendance option.

Date: September 25, 3:00 PM – September 27, 11:30 AM
Cost: Offsite/Online $50; Onsite/In Person $125 (includes some meals)
Location: McCord Community Center, Austin Seminary

We have limited on-campus guest housing available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Please make payment arrangements between yourselves, as we are not able to split the cost of the room between the two of you.
