The Christian Education Network of the ELCA presents:

WEBINAR - "MANAGING ANXIETY IN POST PANDEMIC TIMES"

Tuesday, April 25, 8 pm Eastern on Zoom

The increase in anxiety calls for faith formation leaders to have new skills in our ministries with children, youth, and families, and to walk alongside them with the support and love of Christ. How do we respond faithfully to the changes we are experiencing?  Practical suggestions and ministry ideas will be shared with the goal of providing comfort and calm as our congregations and families navigate a post pandemic world.
