Brainstorming: Have a thought? Share it! Here’s one suggestion.
To emphasize the importance of extended family, we could designate one Sunday in the fall devoted to bringing together the children and families with our senior members in other facilities. In Sunday school, the children would learn about families of our church and adopt a grandpa or grandma that is not related to their family. Each child participating would visit the senior centers and ask participants to join us at a luncheon on that Sunday and share a special story with the group about families and growing up. ________________________________________________________________________________________________

Fund Raising Activities: What type of fund raising activities could our church support that may be new or have been tried previously that have generated a great deal of support. Please consider time and effort vs. dollars raised. __________________________________________________________________________________________________
