Little Connections

Andrena Murphy
Urban Ventures

Discover how to make every one-on-one moment with a child connection-rich! This workshop explores the common barriers that keep children from showing up as their true selves. From lack of trust to simple overwhelm, we’ll replace these obstacles with practical, relational tools that invite children to step into the fullness of who God created them to be.

Together, we'll learn how small, intentional actions like pop-up conversations, affirmations and a consistent presence are often the seeds through which the Holy Spirit produces​ deep and lasting growth. Whether a ministry leader or volunteer, you'll walk away equipped with ready-to-use tools that make your “little connections” even more impactful.
