Faith Family Club

WELCOME TO FAITH FAMILY CLUB!

Combining Spirituality, Community, and Fun

You are welcome to be part of Faith Family Club. Children will learn about God’s love for them and about the Bible, and they’ll have fun experiences with their families.

November Spiritual Activities & Practices- Below are 4 different categories for fun at home activities to try with your family. Each month, we will give a suggestion for a spiritual based activity for each of the following categories: Outdoor, Artistic, Movie & Innovative. The purpose is to enjoy spending quality time together through creative & intellectual projects, while sparking family & faith based discussions. These activities are just suggestions. We encourage your family to do at least two within a month's time span.

Outdoor: Leafing the House--
Have the whole family leave the house and go for a walk or drive. Take time to look at the leaves on the trees as they are changing colors. Pick up different leaves you find on the ground and compare them.

Outdoor spiritual connection: Take time to discuss as a family how God puts so much detail in something as simple as a leaf, to think about how much God loves you. Remember, just as there are no two identical leaves in the world, there is no one who is the same as you. You are perfect & special in every complex and intricate way.

Artistic: Family Wristbands--
Using different colored beads and string/pipe cleaner, your family will each create your own family wristband that resembles each member of your family. First each member should pick a color of bead. Then make a color code chart with everyone’s name next to their respective color. Then everyone should use those colors to make a wristband.

Artistic spiritual connection: By making a wristband with a color representing each member of your family, you can pray anytime you look at the wristband. Remember to thank God for each of your family member’s health and happiness.)

Movie: Field of Dreams—This 1989 film is a great way to spend time being lazy & inactive. This film is a beautiful story about a man building a baseball stadium on his farmland. AND it takes place in Iowa.

Movie spiritual connection: This film is most commonly remembered with the phrase, “If you build it, he will come.” Discuss as a family how this phrase could mean something else as a Christian. What comparisons can you make between your faith and this film?

Innovative: Family Board Game--
Create your own Family Board Game. The game pieces can be your family members. This game can be anything you want it to be, like trivia, a competitive race or strategy. The goal is to work together to make a functional game you can actually play as a family.

Innovative spiritual connection: Reflect on what it’s like to come up with a board game concept and to create the rules. Was this hard or easy to do? Do you think it was easy or hard for God to create you? Did God create your family to work well together? What rules in your family life are easier than others to follow? How can you improve your relationship with God, and can you apply this to your new family board game?

Out in the Community: We are helpers of God.

Faith Family Club will focus on Community in November. We invite you to join us in a challenge to spread kindness and love to others in the month leading up to Thanksgiving.
