Faith at Home

This year our church tried out an alternative to VBS, called Faith at Home.  We met in the evenings so the entire family could participate - it started off with dinner in the gym, followed by classes for the kiddos while the parents heard from Dr. Wiles on parenting topics.  At the end, the kids joined their parents back in the Fellowship Hall for an activity and worship time.  This was such a great experience for our family - I can't wait for next year!

Spaghetti at dinner, Jillian's way.  Dip the longest noodles ever into a tiny bit of sauce and then feed it into your mouth.  Only slightly messy!

Here we are working on our activity - we made boxes that say "Share, Discover, Pray, and Serve" on them.  Each night we talked about one of those words and were given ideas of things that we could talk about as a family related to those words - those ideas went into our box.  Now, we get to take the box home and choose an idea each night to discuss at dinner!  The first few nights with our box have been so great!  The girls love choosing one of the ideas and having us discuss - and it really helps us change up our conversations.  Such a fun idea!

Daddy hard at work!

Our finished box - we each colored letters and then we decided to each draw our favorite animals on the top!
