This summer 100 churches participated in Bags of Discovery, a new resource from SBS designed to give families an opportunity to chat about the Bible in simple and engaging ways when regular church activities were no longer running.
However, this year having been at home since the early Spring, the cancellation of the summer activities was a potential loss to the children, their families, but also to the vital connection with the local church.
Bags of Discovery was created to fill that gap.
Whilst SBS created the cards, the local church was tasked with putting a card into a ‘Bag of Discovery’, adding all the items needed to do the activities.The games, crafts and recipes within helped families to chat about the daily verses and their relevance to everyday life.
It was exciting to witness families across the country talking about the Bible and God within their households. As one Mum from Glasgow said, after taking part in Bags of Love…
It has also been encouraging to hear from church leaders as they have described the impact the distribution of the bags had with their local families…
As summer draws to a close and autumn begins we estimate that 6410 families across the country have received a Bag of Discovery and had that crucial point of contact with their local church.
We have a small amount of resource cards left if your church would like to host a Bags of Discovery week this October half-term or use them as part of your regular weekend online program. Click here or the banner below to order while stocks last.
