This year, a pandemic has forced us into the Year of the Domestic Church, whether we liked it or not. The experience is highlighting just how important the role of parents is and how much work we still need to do to coach, equip, and engage parents to share faith with their children. In the video below, find out what we’re learning through our Worship@Home family-led Liturgy of the Word services and other at-home faith formation experiences. We’ll explore the difference between a monopoly model of ministry, a consumer model, and an accompanying model. Gain some fresh ideas for how to motivate parents starting in this time when we can’t meet normally... through to a new normal in which they are true partners in forming their own kids.
