Religious Education Conversations: Spiritual Nurture in the Home

PYM RE Conversations are an opportunity to bring together the wisdom of our religious education and youth work community of practice. Join in listening and discussion with others carrying a concern for children and youth programs in meetings.

In March, we’ll explore a presentation and discuss how we can encourage and support families with practices for spiritual nurture in the home. There will also be time to share resources for celebrating Easter this year.

  • Tuesday, March 2 at 1:00 PM (ET) register HERE
  • Wednesday, March 3 at 7:00 PM (ET) register HERE

*This is the SAME conversation topic both times — Friends are welcome to attend one or both!
