Recipes for Growing in Faith - Faith Talk
One of the things the Pemberton family love to do is use FAITH TALK cards around the dinner table. These are a great way to encourage talk about faith and family things. You can buy these cards online (they come from the USA) or you could sit down and make some of your own. The Pembertons are happy to lend you the ones we have sometime if you want to have a look! You could also do this around the table with friends, with visitors or whenever you like.Ingredients
- Faith talk cards (bought or home made)
- A meal together
Method
- Say thanks to God for the meal and start eating!
- As you eat, take turns to pick a card and everyone chats about the topic given. A few examples from the Faith Talk with kids set are:
- What do you want to do when you get to heaven?
- How do you think God felt when Jesus was born?
- Tell about what you know about the day you were born (or adopted)
- Name something you want to thank God for.
- If you could choose a spot in your house for family prayers and stories, where would it be?
- Pretend to be one of your favourite people in the Bible. Have others guess who.
- Tell what your family did to make Christmas really special.
- How does your family know when you are grumpy?
- Listen well to each other and finish with a prayer.
