'ROUND THE FAMILY DINNER TABLE
Love, love, love this topic! We have found the family dinner table to be the best place for a combination of learning, bonding, laughing, teaching and loving. At times it has been difficult to make eating together a priority, but it is so important that we make sure it takes precedence over other things, even when that means we have family breakfast or lunch because too many members are missing at dinner time for a season. Eating together daily is vital to families.
If you are interested, we can present on this topic to your group as a fireside or workshop. Come prepared to think about the family dinner table in ways you haven't thought before.
Included in this seminar/workshop or possible fireside are...
- Reasons why having dinner together is so important
- What you can automatically teach your children at the table with no preparation
- Fun and interesting ways to enhance your dinner table experience
- Scriptures, hymns and thoughts that support the importance of families eating together (note: this portion can be optional if you are looking for a non-religious based workshop) All this because one day we will want to sit at the ultimate family dinner table as described in Luke 22:30 "That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom."
