On April 14, 2025, Karen Kiefer, the author of "Growing God", presented to DCDSB Kindergarten students and educators. 
"Growing God" by Karen Kieffer is a powerful guide for teaching students how to become sowers of seeds, sharing their faith and helping to cultivate a deeper connection to God in others. Through the metaphor of sowing seeds, Kieffer emphasizes the importance of planting the seeds of faith in daily life—whether through actions, words, or kindness. The book encourages educators and parents to guide young people in sharing their contagious faith, showing how small gestures of love and belief can inspire others and create a ripple effect of spiritual growth.
The core message of the book is that each student has the potential to spread God’s love, helping others grow in faith and understanding. By fostering an environment where students can nurture their own spiritual growth, Kieffer suggests that they will be empowered to pass that growth on to others. "Growing God" is not just about knowledge of faith but about living it actively, demonstrating how the act of sowing seeds of belief can lead to a thriving, vibrant community of believers.
