LIMITLESS KIDS
Practical resources for families with kids
These are strange times we are living in. Church has moved online, families are at home and we are now effectively in lockdown. So how do we keep being a generationally focused church?
Here are some tips for parents, children’s ministry teams and church leaders alike. We are all in this together!
Making disciples
Disciples come in all ages. From young to old, all disciples are precious to God. If you are a parent, first of all, well done! You are doing better than you think. There is no ‘correct’ way of discipleship at home, but hopefully God will lead you in your journey of discovery.
Perhaps though, this is a time for family discipleship in your home to take on a whole new level. If you are familiar with family devotions, we pray that God continues to meet with you as you seek Him. If the idea of being intentional with discipleship at home appeals to you, check out these resources.
Family Together Activities
FREE resource for parents to teach about God’s character at home. These excellent ‘lessons’ offer a variety of themes with enough activities (stories, hands-on fun, creative discipline, crafts etc.) to run with the same theme in a variety of methods for a whole a week.
Make your home a house of prayer, these top 10 ideas from prayer spaces in schools are a creative place to start.
The At Home with God Family Devotionals will help you to focus together as a family for a set time of family devotions with ideas for activities and reflection together.
