Details

The Mealtime Fun-n-Faith Fifteen is a Make Mealtime Family Time™ 15-minute event designed to give parents, grandparents, and their teenage children (and younger siblings) a prayer practice opportunity and a take-home Mealtime Fun-n-Faith Kit of activities. The Mealtime Fun-n-Faith Kit gives families with teenagers 32 fun-n-faith ac-tivities that can be used at mealtime while at home or out. Host a fifteen-minute event after the Saturday night/Sunday service, during the mid-week mealtime program or during an already-existing congrega-tional event that seems appropriate. (You can do great family ministry events before, during, or after already-existing events.) This event is highly recommended because (1) cross+generational events help families get to know other families; (2) families see that other parents and grandparents are interested in homegrown faith; (3) families get to practice an activity together in congregation which helps motivate them to do the activities at home, in the car, or while out for a meal; and (4) it takes only 15 minutes, yet the event can have a profound effect on encouraging parents and grandparents to make mealtime family time (and faith time as well). Uses • A great cross+generational resource for parents, grandparents, and their teenagers • After Saturday night & Sunday worship services • Mid-week program
