Cross+Gen Life
The 2018 Cross+Gen Life Conference
Connect the wisdom of the elder and the wonder of the child every week in church, and in each others’ prayers every night in every home.
Connect, collect and collide the wisdom of the elder and the wonder of the child every week around these big themes. Learn, laugh, and love your time together in Cross+Generational community every week at church and return to each theme in caring conversations and faith encounters in homes, online, and via social media most every night using the simple FAITH5 method and handouts.
What new joys await you when 8-year-olds, 80-year-olds and everyone in between is regularly applying highs and lows to the texts and contexts - the Scriptures and the real issues of their lives? What beauty, depth and wonder will you experience by walking through the entire Small Catechism with all the saints assembled together? What new insights will you experience by applying Luther’s age-old understandings to the current highs and lows of your Cross+Gen faith community?
Cross+Gen Life is available in five individual themes or as an unlimited package at a special price.
Get more information and download the complete first theme from each set using the Conversations™ menu above.
