For Parents: A Listening Session with Lesli van Milligen (Thrive Ministries)

Take time to gather with other parents, in a supportive and relaxed atmosphere, to reflect on parenting, faith formation, and your children.  Our guide will be Lesli van Milligen, a pastor and a friend of our congregation with wide and deep experience in nurturing faith for life. Here are some of the questions that will spark our conversation.

• When it comes to your child(ren)’s faith engagement and formation, what are your hopes–for now and in the future?
• When it comes to supporting the faith formation of your children, what shifts have you experienced in your own parenting from what you experienced growing up?
• What motivates you to come to worship and other church programming?
• Where else (beyond the church) do you look for support when supporting or encouraging your children in faith formation?
• What would you identify as the biggest challenge to parenting today, especially when it comes to nurturing your children’s faith?

We hope that you can join us! Contact Pastor Dave for more information.
