I’m sure you as grandparents – or parents – agree with
me about how grandparents play a unique and profoundly influential role in the
lives of our grandchildren – second only to parents – yet we are one of the
most underserved groups in the church. We grandparents today do not consider
ourselves to be “seniors” in the traditional sense. We are generally healthier
and more vital than any other generation of grandparents in history. As
twenty-first century grandparents, we are just as likely to be rocking to our
favorite tunes as we are to be rocking in our favorite chairs.

So, today I’m very happy to let you know about the
second annual Legacy Grandparenting Summit, which is a national conference for
us – today’s Christian grandparents who want to be inspired and equipped to
pass our faith to our grandchildren. Last year grandparents were able to hear
from Chuck Swindoll, Josh McDowell and a number of other wonderful speakers . .
. this year there is another excellent line-up of speakers, including Tony
Evans, Tim Kimmel and Steve Stroope with music from Steve Green and comedy from
Ken Davis – you will not want to miss this summit!
Now in its second year, the Legacy Grandparenting
Summit has been designed to equip and encourage our generation of active
grandparents to stay connected and involved with our grandchildren in positive
and powerful ways. Through nationally known speakers, breakout workshops and an
extensive resource center, you’ll find encouragement, teaching and inspiration.
If you are a grandparent, clearly this summit is for
you, as you will find inspiration, ideas and an amazing display of resources to
help you realize your potential to grandparent successfully. It is also for the
leaders in your church as they will learn how to reach out to grandparents and
provide them with the encouragement and resources they need. There will be
breakout sessions especially for church leaders!
This year’s summit will be November 2-4 at Lake
Pointe Church in Rockwall, Texas. Register now to reserve your place – space is
limited, so register early! Early-bird and group discounts are available. You
will find all the information you need at this link.
