Raising Faith Monthly
Each month we invited people to write on a topic which engages children, families and young adults in their experience of faith.
We hope these articles, which were first published in the monthly Moravian Messenger magazine, will help facilitate you in growing your faith whether you are 3 or 34!
Our hope as YCC is to encourage each person who reads these articles to reflect a little more on whether this may be something they, or their family, might be interested in learning more about. Also, we hope it might be a resource for church communities to get some new ideas and inspiration on how to reach out to families and young people.
Thank you to all who provided the articles below.
