Multigenerational
We need multigenerational connections! The separation in our culture causes us to miss the insights, history, and perspectives of each generation. When contact with multiple generations decreases or is non-existent, we become less in touch with one another’s physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs. And in turn we are diminished by the separation.
Multigenerational ministry happens in our congregations in a variety of areas and ways:
- In worship, there are many expressions, including a “time for all ages” for 10-15 minutes on Sunday, and about once a month worship services for all ages.
- Community events, such as the church picnic and social hour on Sunday mornings, offer opportunities for all ages to come together.
- Social justice activities and service projects are another way that connections are formed across the generations.
