Praying Their Way: Exploring New Ways to Introduce Middle-Grade Kids to Prayer with the Rev. Dr. L. Roger Owens

Sat., Sept. 19, 2026, 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.
John Knox Room, Long Hall, Pittsburgh Theological Seminary

Children have a natural curiousity about God and an innate draw toward mystery. As they grow, kids ask bigger, more complex spiritual questions, and they need guides to help them explore their budding faith lives. Frustratingly many of us lack the confidence or skills to talk to kids about prayer often because we don't feel confident about our own spiritual lives. We need resources to help them pray in their own words and on their own terms. Join the Rev. Dr. Roger Owens for a workshop, based on his new book Praying Their Way, to gain practical tools for guiding children on their spiritual journeys while deepening your own spiritual formation as well.
