For Church Leaders, Educators & Ministry Volunteers

If you teach, lead, or care for children in the life of the church, this morning session is for you. Meredith will guide a conversation around how churches can thoughtfully and faithfully nurture children’s faith within the local church. Drawing on theology, experience, and best practices, this gathering invites participants to reflect on how worship, teaching, and shared community life shape faith over time, and how we can approach this work with care, clarity, and hope. Coffee and light breakfast bites will be available.

For Parents, Grandparents & Community Members
Reception & Book Signing: Drop in between 5-6 p.m., IPC Parlor
Talk Begins: 6 p.m., IPC Sanctuary

If you are walking alongside children in everyday moments, this evening session is for you. It is also a welcoming space for anyone who wants to reflect on their own experiences of faith and consider how faith is formed and examined over time. Drawing from her book Woven, Meredith offers encouragement that honors both the wonder of faith and the realities of daily life, helping adults see their everyday presence as meaningful and formative. Handheld snacks will be available during the reception. Childcare will be available for the evening session and is guaranteed for those who register by Sunday, March 1.
