Please Pass the Faith: The Art of Spiritual Grandparenting
Elsie Rempel believes that the swelling ranks of seniors represent a huge spiritual resource. She offers practical ideas for integrating children and youth into church life, all the while nurturing one’s own spiritual life as an elder.
Elsie H.R. Rempel provides workshops on faith formational topics. She is a grandmother of four, a practical theologian who loves to implement theology in intergenerational settings, and a dedicated servant of Mennonite Church Canada. During the winter of 2012 she served as a resource person for grade 1-9 teachers in Zambia’s Southern Province Brethren in Christ Schools.
