All Age
Had a great training day today looking at that tricky subject of all age church and worship.
Is it desirable or possible to worship together across the generations?
I think it is, although connection outside of the "service" is also essential.
Clearly some "family services" are poor and unhelpful, but that need not be the case with a bit of thought and creativity. I also think there is stuff we can learn from alt. worship and "non linear" approaches.
Anyway it was a thought provoking day. Input came from a couple of ministers from across London, and Mike from the helpful family worship web site.
One quote from the day (not from me!): "it's not about entertainment, it's about belonging", which was part of one church leaders journey in this area.
