"Each fall, university students in the course, “Nurturing Spiritual Development with Children” spend one-on-one time with children ages 8-10 in an afterschool program. The student/child pairs participate in spiritually formative activities, including walking a labyrinth, practicing imaginative prayer, reading children’s books, and posing wondering questions. The CSS presentation will share how the experiences have addressed challenges these children have encountered such as loneliness, parental substance abuse, bullying, and divorce, along the way connecting the activities to the children’s relationships with self, others, and God.
