September Tuesday Tea with Melanie:
Courageous Conversations with Parents

On Tuesday, September 12, our chat will open up the discussion on preparing for difficult conversations that are necessary to help our children grow in faith. Our guests will be Scott Hughes, Director of Adult Formation at Discipleship Ministries of The United Methodist Church, and Jenny Reilly, Director of Christian Education at Salem United Methodist Church in the Western North Carolina Annual Conference. 

There's still plenty of time to register and join us! Invite your friends and colleagues, pour a cup of tea and plan now to join us for rich and impactful conversation.

"Tuesday Tea with Melanie" is an online conversation focused on embracing children and families as part of the disciple-making process in local congregations. The series unpacks the enlivening questions at the center of children’s faith formation: Will our children have faith? How do we help children grow in faith? We gather experts to explore these questions in their complexity as they impact the lives of children and families in the digital age.
