What One Congregation
by The Rev Mike Kinman
The MDGs can do more than draw us into the world, they can bring the generations together.
That's what Calvary Episcopal Church in Flemington, NJ, is discovering. Deacon Deborah Piggins tells how: We've begun by educating adults and youngsters in church. The first Sunday we talked about MDGs in earnest was January 21 when the gospel reading was Jesus reading in the synagogue "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me ..." and it was so easy to weave MDG into that. We had already established a working group of adults who will educate themselves, discuss, and then educate others and decide how we will be involved as a congregation. MDGs will be integrated into many aspects of church life, including the church school curriculum. Parents will work with their children in the classrooms to teach and discuss and do hands-on projects together. |
