The goal is mutual learning, growing closer to Christ, and deepening faith.  In Intergenerational Faith Formation, people of all ages make this journey together. The format is simple: sharing, scripture reading or devotions, and praying for one another.  Come and share coffee, juice, and treats together, participate in a time of faith growth, and form intergenerational relationships.  All are invited to take part in this new program!
