Saturday Formation Breakfast (6/3/23) with Dawn Rundman from 1517 Media

On Saturday of the Synod Assembly, Dawn Rundman, Ph. D., will lead a conversation (over breakfast) on the joys and struggles of Formation, and share research on how the recent COVID pandemic has shifted the mindset of how Formation works for all ages, especially our youngest members of the Church.

When you register for Synod Assembly, be sure to check the box that states you would like to attend this breakfast. 

(NOTE:  The breakfast is an ADDITIONAL $30 expense to your registration.  If you already submitted your registration, you can go to your registration email, click on the "Confirmation" link and edit your registration to add the Formation Breakfast to your registration.  You will then have the option to pay the additional cost.)

Dawn Rundman is the Director of Faith Formation Resources Development for 1517 Media and brings a wealth of Formation experiences.
