Sunday Morning Adult Seminar

Talkin' 'Bout My Generation

9:30 - 10:30 a.m.

Peel House Parlor

April 7 - May 12

Facilitated by Joanne Larson

Whatever your generation, we are going to be discussing it in this Adult Seminar. This six-week conversation begins April 7 and ends May 12 in the Peel House.  We currently have living among us SIX generations trying to understand each other, stretching from 1925-2024. Are you a Silent (1925-1945), a Boomer (1946-1964), a Gen X (1965-1979), a Millennial (1980-1994) a Gen Z (1995-2021) or a Polar (2013-2029)?  We will be talking about how generations have affected attitudes toward faith, worship and a whole host of other spiritual questions. The goal is to understand a bit better what is going on, so we will NOT be placing blame or shaking our heads at “those kids.” Whatever your generation, come and join the conversation as we examine the attitudes, events and trends that shaped us. Our discussion will be based upon findings from two books:  Generations by Jean Twenge, Ph.D. and The Great Dechurching by Jim Davis and Michael Graham. Welcome to your generation.  Alternate Grinning Face
