By Ryan Andersen Lead organizer/executive director, Calgary Alliance for the Common Good

If, that is, relevance is a matter of connecting the depths of our tradition with the depths of the world’s longings.

Ryan Andersen: There are no individual leaders

Nurturing Children Through Worship and Prayer Initiative

A new grant is available to support endeavors that help children come to know and love God and grow in faith.

The Nurturing Children Through Worship and Prayer Initiative aims to support programs that help congregations strengthen worship and prayer practices that respect how children experience God and express their faith, include children with disabilities, draw upon the arts, create opportunities for Bible storytelling, and connect worship to the daily lives of children and families.

Proposals are due by 5 p.m. (ET) on May 6, 2024.
