Community Connection
“Family Time” is now Community Connection! While the name has changed, the focus has not: these activities, offered by our Children’s Education Director, are designed to help families remain connected to their faith, community and each other.
Each week, a new activity is introduced during Sunday worship and then posted below. Also, don’t forget to follow Community Connection on Facebook and Instagram.
A Silent Ride
Did you know that in the Philippines, Lent is traditionally a quiet time? Loud noises are discouraged, many TV and radio stations shift their programming, and as the volume of life goes down, people can listen for the voice of God. Your family can try to capture some of that same magic by experimenting with silent car rides.
Color A Smile
Lent isn’t just about giving things up, it’s also about adding things – things that help you become the best of who God created you to be. This might include reflection and prayer, but this week we’d like you to consider incorporating acts of kindness.
Make Your Own Prayer Cards
Lent is a great time to be in conversation with God, and what better way to start than through daily prayer. But sometimes it’s difficult to find the words to say. That’s where prayer cards come in!
A Daily Challenge
During the season of Lent, the United Methodist Church offers a devotional called the Photo-a-Day Challenge, meant to inspire reflection and interaction throughout one’s Easter preparations. We thought you might like to take part, albeit with a little twist.
Head-to-Toe Prayer
As we enter the season of Lent, we draw our attention inward and renew our connection with God. This week, we’d like to offer you a tool to help you focus your efforts: Head-to-Toe Prayer.
