Equip Update

Dear , We’ve recently starting listening to Lectio for families reflections each evening.  Our boys comments have both encouraged and challenged me in my faith. It is becoming a daily reminder that they are already on a personal faith journey to explore who God is to them. It reminds me that sharing our faith is not imparting wisdom into children (or adults) as if they are empty vessels. But instead it is about being able to listen, share and learn from each other. If you are thinking about children and mission…what might it mean to think about journeying together? Anna Naish Lay Learning and Training Lead
