The start of summer provides your church with a wonderful window of opportunity to give families with children faith-forming ideas and the tools they’ll need to try them at home. Make a splash by pouring the contents into something that’s fun—the ultimate symbol of summer, a brightly colored beach pail.
Ready to dive in? Here’s the scoop:
1. Prepare one pail per family with children. Be sure to make extra for grandparents and for families who may visit during the summer months.
2. Fill each pail with some or all of the items listed below. Add your own ideas too!
Dear Family,
We hope the tools in this pail will help you have a summer that’s filled with faith-shaping adventures. Here’s how you might use them:
Love,
God’s Big Family, your church
3. Celebrate and pray. Celebrate the learning that took place over the past school year. Pray for the learning that will continue over the summer. The bless each family with their Everyday Family Faith Summer Bucket.
Enjoy!
PS: An excellent children's storybook Bible (see How to Choose a Children's Storybook Bible for our favorite picks) or a set of God's Big Story Cards are also terrific resources to give to your families. Consider inviting them to choose the resource(s) that would work for them.
