The Gift of Dialogue

All of us were humbled to reveal some of the work we've been doing with re:form to the attendees at FirstThird. Humbled on lots of levels, but mostly because of the power of collaboration. Yes, dialogue. So, thanks to everyone who's been a part of the re:form conversation thus far. Thanks to those of you at FirstThird who provided feedback. And a "proleptic" thanks to all of you who'll join us down the road. Truly a gift.

Mixing Theology and Youth Ministry

All of us at sparkhouse are gearing up for a truly unique event next week: FirstThird Dialogues on youth ministry. Keynoting the event will be two leading voices in the church--Andy Root and Kenda Creasy Dean--with the audacity to mix theology and youth ministry. Sparks should fly!

As an event sponsor, we're looking forward to take part in the dialogue and getting feedback on our new confirmation program, re:form, with its own mix of theology and youth ministry. If you're going to be at FirstThird, let's chat!
