ABOUT THE RESOURCE PRESENTATION:

This resource presentation will share insights learned from a process of designing and implementing an 8-week series of intergenerational worship services through the Psalms at CitySalt Church to: 1) explore how the Psalms might be used to structure intergenerational engagement with various feelings, emotions and life experiences as worship, and 2) provide creative ideas, examples, tools and other resources for pastors and ministry leaders to design and implement their own intergenerational worship experiences through the Psalms.

ABOUT OUR PRESENTER:

Dr. Aaron Friesen (MDiv, PhD) serves as Co-Lead Pastor at CitySalt Foursquare Church in Eugene, Oregon. He is also Assistant Professor at Life Pacific University (San Dimas, California) where he teaches a variety of courses in their DMin and MDiv programs. He and his wife, Heather, founded Storyline Kids in 2022, a nonprofit dedicated to helping all children find their place in God’s story through the development of unique curriculum, training and resources for churches and spiritual caregivers.

Online Cohort Meetings

Intergenerate cohorts are intended to keep us connected throughout the year. They meet each month both as a small group and with the larger InterGenerate community (InterGenerate Online Gatherings- see more info above.)

On the odd months, cohorts meet virtually for resource sharing, problem-solving, accountibility, and prayer. On even months, all cohort members are welcome to register and attend for free the InterGenerate Online Gatherings (see more info above).
