links are pure gold like Take Out Church Boxes. It is offered as a resource for families who are away from church during the summer and is great for that purpose, but I am pondering providing Take Out Church
boxes at times other than summer. For
example,
Could
we send them with families that sign up for travel team sports to use through
the season. (In my congregation we’d
need quite a few at the beginning of travel soccer seasons :) .)
Could
we provide them for families that travel to ski during the winter months or
spend weekends at “cabins” in the fall and spring?
Could
we provide seasonal boxes say for Advent or Lent filled with activities that
help families observe those seasons at home?
Could
we provide a box of resources with which a family could learn and explore a
part of worship – maybe the Lord’s Prayer or Apostle’s Creed?
There are all sorts of
possibilities.
Our church will be using boxes similar to this for new visiting parents whose children are not yet comfortable going into a children's church class, or whose parents opt not to send their children to class due to illness etc.
