SUMMARY:Resources & Renewal Retreat for Religious Educators
DESCRIPTION:A Spring Weekend with our First Day School Community of Practice\nSponsored by Philadelphia Yearly Meeting\, Western and Concord Quarterly Meetings\nJoin us for a weekend of learning and support for those engaged in the ministry of children’s religious education. We’ll share resources and thinking from the growing edges of children’s RE and spiritual formation\, as well as gather the community of practice around perennial issues. Participants will come away from the weekend affirmed and refreshed\, and ready to move forward whether you’re newly stepping into this work or a seasoned teacher. Our time will include plenaries\, experiential learning\, small group and whole group discussions. We will ground our time in worship and fellowship together. \nTopics for the weekend include: children’s spirituality; worship with children; shapes and models for FDS: resources and planning; nurturing families in our meetings; faithful living in today’s world: activism and anti-racism resources for First Day and families. \nThis workshop is appropriate for religious education/FDS committee members and teachers; parents; Friends interested in supporting religious education\, children and families in our meeting communities; and teachers from Friends schools interested in these topics. \nFacilitators:\nBeth Collea serves as the Religious Education and Outreach Coordinator for New England Yearly Meeting.
