A Place for Everyone: Intergenerational Retreats
What if wild hope looks like a community where everyone truly belongs?
What happens when children and octogenarians worship, play, and learn side by side? In this thoughtful and practical workshop, we’ll explore the theological vision behind intergenerational ministry and why it matters now more than ever. Together, we’ll imagine communities where every generation is not just included, but essential.
You’ll dive into the building blocks of meaningful intergenerational retreats, with concrete tools and ideas you can take back to your church or community. We’ll explore how to design experiences that engage every age in ways that are accessible, joyful, and deeply meaningful, from worship and play to learning and connection.
Along the way, we’ll consider how creating space across generations can be an act of wild hope, forming communities rooted in belonging, shared wisdom, and mutual care.
You’ll be guided by Nancy Myer, Associate Pastor for Family Ministry at University Presbyterian Church in Chapel Hill, NC. With a deep love for building community across generations, Nancy brings creativity, practical wisdom, and a joyful spirit shaped by her love of reading, walking, baking, cheering on Michigan State, and just about any craft you can imagine.
Come ready to dream, design, and discover what becomes possible when there is truly a place for everyone.
