All God's People: Faith Formation Through the Life Span, October 13-15, 2008, General Board of Discipleship, Nashville, Tennessee

Dear Colleague in Ministry,

You are invited to attend a first-time event: ALL GOD’S PEOPLE: FAITH FORMATION THROUGH THE LIFE SPAN, October 13-15, 2008 at the General Board of Discipleship (GBOD) in Nashville, Tennessee.

Event participants, together with leaders from the Family, Life Span & Latino Ministries Team, will explore how faith is formed in people from birth through older adulthood and how we can be more effective in nurturing faith for people at all ages.

The format of this event will be different from other GBOD events you may have attended. This is not an event that features keynote speakers or a variety of workshops on specific age-level or ministry topics. The participants and the leaders will become a learning community, examining faith formation from a holistic perspective through the windows of:

• Growth and Development;
• Generations;
• Transitions and Cycles of Life;
• Culture;
• Settings;
• Traditions and Heritage.

These various lenses all play a unique role in understanding how faith is formed and nurtured throughout the life span. Together we will explore what leaders can do to strengthen faith for people of all ages.

Please consider attending ALL GOD’S PEOPLE as an important part of your continuing education for 2008. Enclosed with this letter is a registration packet. Feel free to pass this information along to others who you think would benefit from the event. Registration is limited to 120 participants, so we encourage you to register as soon as possible to ensure a place.

Sincerely,
Members of the Family, Life Span, & Latino Ministries Team
