Faith-Filled Explorations: Let The Children Come To Me - Chapel, Praygrounds, and More

Join us for an inspiring and enlightening webinar, "Faith-Filled Explorations: Let the Children Come to Me - Chapel, Praygrounds, & More," where we delve into creating meaningful spiritual spaces and experiences for children within the context of chapels, praygrounds, and beyond. This engaging event is designed for educators, religious leaders, parents, and anyone passionate about nurturing the faith of our youngest generation.

Our presenter, Linda Chambers, is celebrating 30 years in ministry at Memorial Lutheran Church in St. Augustine, Florida.  She serves as the Chapel School Director and guides families to explore their faith more deeply as the Family Ministry Director.  Linda has been a longtime member of ELEA and served on the National Board for nine years.  She was chosen as the ELCA Early Childhood Director of the Year in 2015.  Linda credits her success in ministry to her strong connection with other directors through her membership in ELEA and enjoys sharing her Chapel Time journey from weekday ministry to Sunday worship.

Highlights from this session will include: 
Discovering the Importance of Child-Centered Spiritual Spaces:
Explore why providing children with environments encouraging spiritual growth is essential for their overall development. Learn about the impact of chapel spaces, praygrounds, and other settings in fostering a deep and lasting connection to faith.
