What’s happening Now at FPCD

Traci Smith, an ordained minister, mother of three and author of several books, including Faithful Families and Prayers for Faithful Families, will return to FPCD for a half-day program, “Generation to Generation: Passing on What Matters to our Children and Grandchildren.” Her discussion will cover the importance of family tradition, spiritual practice and ritual. She will examine the traditions we have in our families and churches, looking at how we can share them with one another and create deep spiritual meaning in our lives through simple practices like gratitude and holy storytelling. Rev. Smith is the Program Director of Family Faith Every Day, an extension of Chalice Media’s mission to create a world in which families can grow in their love through daily faith practices across generations. Her personal and professional mission is guided by a simple statement that can be found on page one of Faithful Families: “Faith is learned when it is woven seamlessly through the fabric of everyday life.” She is also a keynote speaker, coach, workshop facilitator and writer, and her area of expertise is faith-at-home. This program is designed for all ages, even young girls and teens. There will be time for group activities and interaction, with continental breakfast starting at 8:30 a.m. before the program starts at 9:00 a.m. The program will end with a simple lunch at noon. Program cost is $25 per person, including all meals and program materials. Sign up online, in the Wednesday eblast or in the Friendly Office by March 10. All FPCD members and guests are welcome to attend.
