Putting the Pieces Together: Sketching a Hybrid Faith Formation Plan In Your Congregation Now the fun begins; let your imagination take over! Thanks to Leif Faith for some of the slides in this presentation.

Reimagining Faith Formation Lifelong & Lifewide Intergenerational & Generational Networked Missional Connected & Blended Personalized Curated

Where Can The Circles Blend Together? = Hybrid Faith Formation Church Life Daily/Home life via Online life Online Life Daily/Home life Church Life Community life Daily/Home Life via Online Life Online Life Church Life Daily/Home Life

Imagine doing 1 component of 1 of any of these 8 processes online instead of in person, or in combination with in person!

Observe/Discuss What does this tell you about where faith happens? What does this tell you about how faith happens- experiences/processes When you look at your list of faith formation programs in your congregation, what settings do you utilize? How might your parishioners better experience God’s living presence in the community? How can you meet people “where they are at” in life?

Come up with a plan that will not overwhelm you: What’s lacking on your grid? What can be extended to other settings? Adopt examples shared? Concrete goal for A season, for ONE group, for ONE area

Advice Don’t get overwhelmed! Get one idea and run with it Learn from your mistakes Network and commiserate with each other Celebrate what works and share with others

First Step Ideas: -Lent tweet, embed SSJE, Lent in a Bag -Flat Jesus this summer -Virtual Group- teens? Some segments of adults? -Add a link to a weekly to parents with a video reflection -Curate some online resources? -Parents’ Baptismal preparation program which includes a closed online discussion group before the parents meet IRL (in real life) at the parish. -Other?

Digital Revolution Good? Bad? Here to stay.. And grow It changes everything!

As we get ready to move forward…

Adaptive Presence  How can you open up in vulnerability; shedding your old shell?  What kind of courage is required to risk blindness & exposure as you move forward?  How can you take in the context around you so that something new might emerge?  How might your congregation become an adaptive community, able to surrender prior structures while calling forth new practices?
