Gather Family Events Unwrapping the Gift Advent Family Gathering

Everything you need to host a meaningful, beautiful, faith-based family gathering!

• Includes leader instructions, talking point scripts, activities, prayers, supply lists, reproducible handouts, editable invitation flyers, a newsletter announcement, art, decor, and more!
• Beautifully written and designed, with today's family in mind.
• Multiple interactive stations for a learning center event. The activities are hands-on and experiential, and the teachings connect faith to families' everyday lives.
• Provides intentional family time and sharing.
• Available in both English & Spanish (50% off Spanish when purchased together).

The gatherings are organized into stations. This offers directors and principals the chance to use the activities from start to finish, or to pick and choose the ones that best fit their needs. We have tried to include everything (and more!) to make this resource as easy to use as possible.

The ultimate goal is for families to have a positive experience at church or school while sharing their faith together. All of these experiences have been successfully completed with real families in all types of church and school settings.
