Family Meeting Builder
Take a few minutes to pray, look ahead, listen to one another, and work together as a family.
Pray and Give Thanks
Begin by thanking God for His care during the previous week. Give each person an opportunity to share something good.
Fly Over the Week
Look over the schedule together so everyone knows what is coming. Talk about both the facts and the feelings.
Feelings: How each person feels about what is coming. This helps the family identify what can be changed and where someone may need more encouragement, preparation, or support.
Scripture for the Week
Choose a Family Goal
Choose one simple and realistic goal that the entire family can practice together.
Jobs and Zones
Give each person a specific job and an area of the home to watch over for the week or month.
Zone: An area to help maintain, such as the living room, entryway, bathroom, bedroom, or play area.
Values and Valuables
Connect household expectations to the deeper values your family wants to practice.
Our rule: “Don’t put it down—put it away.”
