Bible Stories & Activities for Grandparents to Share
|
Generation to Generation is the first offering in a new Elder Care Ministries program.
This series provides a fun and meaningful way to engage in religious education in a home setting. The series is designed to help grandparents share Bible stories and activities with their grandchildren—or other adults engage with the children in their lives—either virtually (FaceTime, Skype, etc.) or in-person. Each story focuses on a family in the Old Testament and includes related activities. The “lessons” are designed to be easy to prepare and share. Congregations are welcome to use the series as part of their Christian education programs. Click here to download Generation to Generation. |
