Reply to "Mission ideas for children and families to do together"

Our new Writing Team lesson set on the Good Samaritan includes a variety of suggested service and outreach projects. The Parable of the Good Samaritan is a story that calls for action. One of the objectives of this lesson set is for the students to be able to identify persons "in need" within the their world (their "Jericho road") and think of actions they could take to show compassion and mercy to that person.

Because churches have different opportunities for "Samaritan activities" in their communities, we have created a collection of outreach suggestions with creative ideas for conducting them that you can adapt to your resources and the needs of your community. Supporting Members can access this lesson here.

Some service project format ideas to consider:

  • Choose a service activity or project to use as a weekly mission workshop during your Good Samaritan rotation for each group to rotate to.
  • Schedule one special Sunday for kids to get involved in being good Samaritans with the rest of the congregation. Check out the post from Beth Tobin for inspiration.
  • Encourage each family to choose their own community service project and have them take pictures to share on your church's social media with a hashtag such as #OurChurchGoesAndDoesLikewise or #ProjectGoodSamaritan or #NationalDayofService (be sure to tag Rotation.org, too, so we can see what you are doing!).
  • What would you add?
