Sticky ELDERS: Let’s Start the Generational Conversation!
Your world is changing. The kids are growing up! Influence is shifting. Taking our place as the young and master elders (adult singles, parents and grandparents) in families and churches has never been more important.

There is a sweet spot among older adults and kids—both feel marginalized in the church.
Be the church that weaves people of all ages together in relationship.
It’s not just a youth ministry issue; it’s a whole church issue!

Sticky CHURCHES: Let’s Get Adults Out of Their Seats and into Kids’ Lives
Fun and practical ideas that really work in shaping an intergenerational church!
Build a spiritual legacy that will last your lifetime ~ and theirs, too.
Partner with parents and youth ministry in your church.
Rediscover the ministry of presence.

 

Special Music by the Gambler & the Thief

Listen to their music: www.reverbnation.com/thegamblerthethief

After meeting while in Nashville, TN, now husband and wife duo Tim and Vanessa Dalrymple settled back into the central valley of California.  When they are not serving at their church or teaching music lessons from their home, they lead worship at churches, retreats, and conferences.  Their relaxed acoustic style and unique blend of modern taste and old soul enable them to relate across generational lines, as they seamlessly weave together contemporary songs, hymns, and original music.

Workshops

Gary Williams with Cavin Harper | Not on Our Watch: Audacious Grandparenting in the 21st Century
Not on Our Watch is a call for grandparents and parents to rise above the conventional view of grandparenting to embrace radically courageous life that stands apart from the politically correct crowd. It’s a call to intentionality–not settling for simply being good parents and grandparents, but choosing to stand in the gap and live as conduits of grace and truth for the next generations.

Built around the theme of his new book, Cavin Harper appeals to the emerging masses of Boomer grandparents to create a movement of godly men and women resolved to not let another generation grow up on our watch that does not know the Lord or His amazing grace. There’s too much at stake if we don’t. This workshop will also focus on opportunities for spiritual impact with grandkids in this age of technology and long-distance grandparenting.
