Woven Parent's Discussion Group

Woven: Parents Discussion Group
Jan 12, 19, 26 and Feb 2 from 5:00-6:15pm 
Childcare provided


Join us for a brief presentation and discussion on how to share our faith with children. This discussion will be based on Meredith Miller’s book “Woven: Nurturing a Faith Your Kid Doesn’t Have to Heal From.” In this book, Miller suggests that many people approach building faith as if they are building a brick wall. The wall seems strong, but if a few bricks are removed the entire thing tumbles.

Instead of this model, Miller invites us to think about how we might create a spider’s web of faith. Webs are elastic, and still strong if a few strands are broken. With Woven, families can nurture the kind of faith that can flex and grow, be broken and repaired. This is the sort of faith that can stand up to the life a child will live, the doubts they will encounter, and the questions that will come up along the way.

This event will take place at St Paul's Episcopal Church
1066 Washington Road
Pittsburgh, PA 15228
