Product Description
You are invited to a fun, interactive workshop day for your family. The aim is to inspire, encourage and equip you and your family in your faith at home together.
The workshop takes place on Saturday 18th May from 10am – 3pm at St Matthias Church, Richmond, TW10 6NN as part of the Richmond Team Ministry – the churches of St. Mary Magdalene, St. Matthias & St. John the Divine.
Come as a family to enjoy a creative mix of games and activities. In the morning there will be opportunity to try out new ways to explore the Bible and pray together and discover what suits your unique family. In the afternoon, we’ll explore the Shabbat ritual using hands on activities at five stations followed by taking part in the Shabbat rituals together.
The day is aimed at families with children who are mostly between 4 and 11 years old, although younger and older children are welcome. Children remain the responsibility of their parents or carers throughout, and the whole session is set up for adults and children work together, experimenting with ideas you can adapt and do again at home.
The format will be:
