Ways to Build Family Connection This Season
As the seasons change, focus on what truly matters: family. Here are five meaningful activities to deepen your connections across generations. Which idea will you try with your family? Small moments like these can make a big difference in building shared family values and connection.
Share family devotions and start a Gratitude Ritual
Read the bible together and share something you're thankful for each week, whether at the dinner table or over the phone with grandparents. Gratitude helps us cherish our blessings and the people we share them with.
Create a Lent Kindness Calendar
Plan daily acts of kindness for Lent, like helping a neighbour, donating to charity, or writing encouraging notes. These small gestures create joy and shared memories.
Cook a Family Recipe Together
Prepare a favourite family dish with loved ones. Let grandparents share the tradition while kids help out. It’s a chance to honour your family’s story and enjoy a delicious reward.
Take a Tech-Free Family Walk
Enjoy a stroll together without distractions. Share stories, reflect on life, and savour uninterrupted connection. Walking side by side creates space for meaningful conversations.
Make a Family Memory Jar
Encourage everyone to jot down happy moments or things they’re grateful for and place them in a jar. Read them together to reflect on the joys you’ve shared.
