While developed for home use, this can easily be adapted for in-person, congregational use, virtual small groups, etc.
|
Individual Use: Use this as your weekly Bible Study. We do think that the Bible is best experienced in community, so consider asking a friend or two to meet with you virtually to talk about the story. Household Use: Find a regular weekly time to read and explore the story around a meal, then do the household project following the meal. Or maybe you want to have one big night a month, where you explore four stories together. |
|
Full Church Use: Particularly for smaller congregations, this could be done as an all-church series. Perhaps each household or small group does their own project, or maybe you can even do one collaborative project as a church. This could potentially guide your communal worship, but it can also be done in place of Sunday School or Wednesday night activities. |
Children's Sunday School:
Formatting this in a children's Sunday School hour could look something like this:
Formatting this in a children's Sunday School hour could look something like this:
- Gathering and singing time - 10 min
- Snack, sharing and prayer - 15 min
- Tell/read the story and choose a couple prompts to guide wondering questions and conversations - 10 min
- Project (either do one collaborative project as a class, or supply art materials, dress-up clothes, and building materials for the children to do their own projects) - 15 min
- Play - 10 min
|
Youth or Adult Sunday School:
Tell/read the story together, the choose a couple of the prompts to discuss. Do a collaborative project, or provide supplies for individual projects. Hybrid Home and Sunday School: Encourage the households of the congregation to utilize this at home. When your congregation is able to meet in person, use it for Sunday School as well. This allows you to keep something constant while so much is in flux. |
