"The overriding hope of Faith Stepping Stones is to bless the child, gift the family, and call the parents to the sacred work of nurturing their children’s spiritual lives."
Wayzata Community Church is excited to introduce Faith Stepping Stones, a faith-based parenting education series for families with children, as they journey together from the cradle to the empty nest.
Through a series of nine short-courses, at significant moments in parenting, parents are equipped and supported in nurturing their own faith and the faith of their children. Each short-course or “Stone” invites families into interactive and engaging ways to share the journey of life and faith through everyday faith practices and is celebrated with the wider church family in worship with a special blessing. The Stones, while connected, also stand alone, so parents and children may easily enter the program at any time.
