Intentional Christian Grandparenting
A STARTER KIT FOR CHURCH MINISTRY
STEP 4
Organize Group Study
The best start for intentional Christian grandparenting in your church is to start with the study called “Grandparenting Matters”. We consider this study our Foundations 101. There are 3 versions of this study that you can find online.
STUDY: Grandparenting Matters
The following is the small group video version of Grandparenting Matters. This timed outline is designed for 6 weeks, 90 minutes each week. You can certainly adapt it to your church setting. Should you use the video small group study look at each session ahead of time with these notes to get familiar with the session and make any changes if needed.
Beforehand…Small Group Video Study…Grandparenting Matters
- Lay out resource books, provide your contact information, and workbooks/pens/payment envelope.
- Be ready to encourage couples to each have their own workbook as each spouse will be more involved. (This is not required.)
- Set up tables, round recommended, with no more than 6 people at each table (try very hard not to set up the chairs in a classroom format).
- Place blank sheets at each spot to record:
- Names of grandparents
- Names of greats/grandkids with first names only and ages, including anyone that is expecting new grandkids.
- Type up all these sheets with their names, etc., and combine them into one sheet. Place copies of the combined sheet on the tables the following week to pray for the grandkids represented at that particular table.
