Lifespan Faith Development – Family Faith Development Short-Term Team Member
With First Church on the road to re-opening, it is time for Family Faith Development to consider the question "What will Religious Education for children and youth look like for the rest of the 2021-2022 church year?" If you would like to help us answer that question, and work to turn those answers into reality, you are invited to join the Family Faith Development Team through May 2022 (with the option to stay on the FFD team long-term after May). This commitment will require 5 to 10 hours each month, through May 2022.
