Join Shannon Harper (Co-Director of Lifespan Faith Engagement) and Jennica Davis-Hockett (Youth and Emerging Adult Ministry Staff) for a day of diving into Deeper Joy! This day of Deeper Joy is for those who are (or want to be) hopeful about the power of whole community engagement with young people at the center. Clergy and all other staff - including religious educators, musicians, administrators and membership professionals - are warmly welcomed.

This is an interactive day of strengthening connections with colleagues as we sing, play and grow a compilation of games, songs, activities and practices designed for community builders, activists, educators, and anyone interested in fostering inclusive, multigenerational communities. Where are your people on the Community Building Map to Deeper Joy?

Light breakfast and lunch will be provided. Childcare available when requested in advance, upon registration.

In-Person Participation with COVID

This will be a masked event except during meal breaks time. To maximize the safety of the participants, presenters, and their friends and families...

• Participants and presenters are required to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19.
• Participants are required to always wear a mask over mouth and nose during the training. Masks must be multi-layer - no neck gaiters or valves. We will provide surgical masks for participants who need a mask.
• Staff are asked to rapid test before traveling.
• Masks remain required for group settings when we are together, and the default for all shared spaces.
• Eating should be in limited spaces away from the main gathering space
• We recognize that in smaller groups people may choose the level of safety that all can consent to – e.g. eating lunch together or having a small conversation without masks.
