Growing Young Discussion Groups
Join others from across the Delaware-Maryland and Metro DC Synods to discuss the Growing Young research and how we can implement it into our congregations. Discussions are open to all: youth, young adults, rostered ministers, and lay members.
There are two times when you can participate in these groups: monthly on a Wednesday afternoon from 1-2 pm, or every other month on a Sunday afternoon from 2-3:30 pm. You can attend any of the groups that work for you, so if a Wednesday works for you sometimes and a Sunday afternoon works other times, that’s great! Our meeting dates will be:
Registration is not required, but if you would like to receive the Zoom link, please email Deacon Julie Stecker.
