A Family Sunday will incorporate ways for the family to experience worship together such as communion, prayers said aloud with the whole church, worship songs that everyone knows and can sing to, a sermon that is appropriate for all ages, and elements of the service that invite participation of parents/caregivers and children such as Scripture readings by families and prayer as families.

Family Worship Experiences – There are a few subtle differences between a Family Worship Sunday, where the family joins with the whole congregation in a regular worship service time, and Family Worship Experiences, where families are specifically targeted and ministered to. Often these experiences take place at a time other than Sunday morning and incorporate a variety of interactive activities, worship and teaching.
