Faithful Celebrations: Making Time with Family and Friends

Engage families and church members of all ages during spring and summer celebrations to build strong communities of faith. Infuse secular holidays with Faithful Celebrations that Make Time with Families and Friends to offer a faith-building experience to life, since life is lived both inside and outside the church. This edition focuses on the months of May, June, and July, when secular holidays inspire us to gather to celebrate God's creation, our freedom, and our families.

Key ideas, activities, materials, background information, music, art, recipes, and prayer resources are all included for small, intimate, or large multi-generational groups, as many festivities bring several generations together at church, at home, and in our communities. Celebrate occasions like International Women's Day, Cinco de Mayo, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Memorial Day, Summer Solstice, and July 4th in thoughtful, inclusive, and innovative ways.
