Resources for Faith Formation
Lifelong Christian Formation Ministry in the Episcopal Diocese of New Jersey is committed to the work of engaging, equipping, empowering, and encouraging all people to follow God’s calling in their lives. Whether you are exploring new ideas, looking to grow deeper in your faith, or charged with leading formation ministry in your family or congregational setting, there are resources here to help and inspire. You are welcome here!
Featured Resources: Summer Formation
While many congregational programs take a break during the summer months, many of our shore parishes are gearing up for high season. Whether individuals and families are home or away, summer is a great time to try different formation activities, sometimes in a more limited time frame. Sabbath is important, however, especially for formation leaders, so consider what works for you among these options, ranging from simple printable to impactful time away at camp.
Featured Resource
A Toolkit for National Commemorations
Memorial Day / Independence Day / Veterans’ Day
There are a series of holidays throughout the year that we observe in our national life as Americans. They are not necessarily part of our liturgical calendar (although Independence Day is), but they exist at the intersection of our lives as disciples and citizens and are worthy of reflection. They each share themes of sacrifice and thanksgiving, as explored in these resources.
