SUMMARY:Making Meaning Together Informational Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Join the growing community of partner churches already engaged in the work of creating meaningful worship experiences for children. \nAre you passionate about making worship more engaging\, meaningful\, and welcoming for children? Do you want to create a space where children not only participate in worship but also grow in their faith through intentional prayer practices? If so\, the Making Meaning Together (MMT) initiative is an opportunity you won’t want to miss. \nChildren’s voices\, prayers\, and presence enrich our worship communities in profound ways. As a church leader\, pastor\, or layperson\, you can help shape and create spaces where children lead and experience the beauty of faith in action. \nChurches selected through the application process will receive seed money to help implement creative and intentional ways to include children in worship. \nJoin us for an informational gathering to learn more and ask questions! \nWednesday\, April 29 – 12 pm Central / 1 pm Eastern\nRegister now \nMonday\, May 4 – 6 pm Central / 7 pm Eastern\nRegister now \nStep 1 of the application opens May 1\, and the application window closes October 12. \nVisit makingmeaningtogether.org to find out more\, or email questions to Laura Schwarcz\, MMT project coordinator\, at lschwarcz@riotexas.org.

SUMMARY:Basic Coach Training: Start Coaching Tomorrow
