Visual Faith Show and Tell.
The tables are ready for a gathering on
Saturday, November 9, 2019.
Redeemer Lutheran Church
in Fredericksburg, Virginia
was the gracious host for the
Walking with the Lord event.
Vintage photos were passed out to all the attendees.
They were tasked with "telling" the story
of their "new-found great, or great, great grandmother."
There were some very funny photos- and stories.
But, what is the story, or even the
FAITH STORY of our own relatives?
Here are photos of Connie Denninger's grandmother,
great grandmother and great, great grandmother.
Though there is a bit of the story of these women of faith-
most of the story remains untold.
After the death of her mother, Katherine, in August 2004,
as she was sifting through the shoe boxes of paper clippings,
she almost missed this clipping of the death of her great grandmother.
The impactful sentence was:
"...she was a devoted mother
to her children she was mindful
not only of their bodily
but also and especially of their spiritual welfare."
That changed some priorities
and rearranged some intentional life choices.
This song- Find Us Faithful sums up this
Keep the Faith Milestone project.
What are some of the events, connections,
and legacy of YOUR OWN story of faith?
Is it in a format for future generations
to know your story of faith?
Those gathered for this event learned about some
Visual Faith practices and learned about some basic
faith story-telling resources.
After a wonderful lunch,
those gathered began
to create their own Walking with the Lord
accordion book.
Before their arrival, the attendees had been emailed
the worksheet for the project
to collect and fill out the information.

our story to tell our story.
