Faith Formation at Home
Lent Workshop Recap
Throughout Lent, members were given the opportunity to participate in activities that enriched the Season of Lent at home. Activities were based on modified versions of the three pillars of Lent--giving, simplifying, and prayer.
At Home Resources
Faith Formation is an integral part of the Christian development throughout a person's life. Studies have shown that the most important faith formation takes place at home. Here are some activities to do as a family or individual to strengthen your connection with God and explore your faith when you are not at church. These activities come from the Follow Me curriculum that our Children's LIFT classes and Adult/Youth "Follow Me" Class are implementing.
This week: SHARE TIME
Supplies: art supplies; baked goods, flowers, or care package of your choosing (optional)
Generosity of time may be shared with others. Take some time to visit someone who lives alone, is homebound, or takes care of another in their home and might need respite. Make a card expressing your love, care, and ability to visit and provide help. Create a care package as you are able. This might include a picture drawn or painted by your child(ren), baked goods, flowers, or some other expression.
