ICYMI Faithful Families Training and Certification — Applications are now open for Faithful Families Training and Certification. I answered some questions in a special video I sent out yesterday. You can watch that HERE.
Pentecost Reading in Various Languages: A simple reader’s theater in different languages HERE
Four Directions Prayer — I recently read a version of THIS prayer that references the four directions as the directions from which the four winds come, which is why I thought it might be nice for Pentecost. Super lovely idea, and very embodied.
Miss Potter: I’m fairly certain I’ve recommended the movie Miss Potter before, but I just love it. It was really special to share with my children this weekend. They were all all incredibly touched by it. It explores deeper themes of grief, loss, success, failure and creative process, but it was fine for a 9 year old to watch. Rated PG. Movie HERE study guide HERE. This would be a great all-ages activity at church. Speaking of all ages…
Church Together: An Essential Guide to All-Age Ministry — I am excited for you to get your hands on my latest book, co-written with Dave Csinos. We had a great time dreaming it up, sketching it out, and organizing it for you. There are a ton of practical ideas for you along with important background and theoretical undergirding. Pre-order on Amazon HERE (or anywhere you like to buy books).
Enjoy the treasures, Friends,
Traci
