Looking for ways to breathe new life into your Advent and Christmas season preaching? Join us for this workshop with Anna Carter Florence and Jake Myers from Columbia Theological Seminary, as we explore the upcoming lectionary texts together.

Listen and learn with a virtual panel on Children’s Church models and then join a break-out room for discussion.

Our first Children in Worship cohort ended in June 2026, followed with a celebration in August. The participants reported that the time together was highly effective, and we are opening applications for the second iteration.
