Intergenerational Bible Study: Building Bridges and Nurturing Faith
Intergenerational living and learning is the historical norm. But in the past 200 years, we’ve gotten very segregated by age. Classrooms are same-age. Kids move away from mom and dad to young cities. Our seniors move into senior communities. We’re so segregated, it’s no wonder we have trouble incorporating our children into Sunday church services and home Bible studies.
But there are so many benefits to living and learning side-by-side with those whose age is nothing like ours. Some of the sweetest relationships, life lessons, and growth come from someone very much older or younger than ourselves.
And there is hope.
