Snapshots - A Multigenerational Activity
Snapshots is coming this fall! This is a short multigenerational curriculum that follows the Revised Common Lectionary and is a resource that helps you creatively connect the Scripture and themes in worship with interactive, multigenerational activities. It will be set up in Aldersgate Hall after each service for participation at coffee hour. I am really excited to share this new activity with you!
BFF – Building Faithful Families!
Let's Talk about Emotions. Spend time with your children engaging in understanding emotions. By helping children engage in games involving emotions, they can better articulate what they are feeling and they can understand others’ emotions better, too. This months re-source is Feeling Flashcards for a fun feelings game. You can pick up this resource from the Welcome Desk in the Narthex or Jan can email them to you – Let her know at jan@good.org if you would like a set.
