Title:   Accompanying Young People in the New “Normal”

Description:  As our young people navigate the new “normal” and begin to return to an “in person” way of life, what does this mean for us as leaders? Join us for a 3-part series on the emotional and social impacts of the pandemic on young people, and how we are called to accompany them both personally and in their faith journey today.
