Rev. Kathy Pittenger begins leadership of Children’s Ministries in The Michigan Conference.
Do you work in children’s ministry in your congregation? Do you have a passion for caring for and leading children as followers of Jesus? Are you looking for support, encouragement, guidance, ideas, and resources in children’s ministry?
Whether you have been serving in Children’s Ministries for one week or 50 years, you are invited to join the new Michigan Conference Children’s Ministry Facebook Group. Please also share this group with those in your congregation who work with children. Then bring your questions, best practices, stories, and encouragement.
The Facebook Page will announce more about Lunch/Dinner Chats with Kathy Pittenger, the new Children’s Initiatives Coordinator for the Michigan Conference. These chats will be held around the state this summer. You can get acquainted with Rev. Kathy and share your needs, wants, thoughts, and prayers for children’s ministry work.
