Creatively Creating Community
22 Aug

It’s Sunday night and our small group just left the house.
I love our small group.
A fun mix of people… some single, some married. Some parents, some not. All followers of Jesus.
I love that we share this common pursuit…
to love Jesus and love others.
I love that when I’m around them I’m challenged to dig even deeper in that pursuit. The blessing of true community is when the presence of community draws you closer to Jesus.
So, naturally, my thoughts turn toward kids. Knowing the importance of community for Christ-followers then I’m challenged to figure out how to foster community for kids that draws them closer to Jesus. Some churches have a mid-week discipleship experience with the opportunity to provide a small group element for elementary age kids. However, when a mid-week experience is not an option finding ways to create community for kids can be a challenge.
I’d love to hear thoughts from parents and kidmin people alike.
As a parent, how would you like to see your church foster community for your kids? Do you want another night out in the week? Or would you like to see that worked into your small group time?
As a kidmin leader, how would you create community in the absence of a mid-week service?
Lay it on me, friends. Post your thoughts below and help a sista’ out.
