Family Worship – tip 13

TIP 13

Prepare a meeting.

Family without children

Choose a part of the meeting that you like the most or that deals with a subject that you consider important for the family. Share the content and read aloud, including all biblical texts. Highlight the most important points and deepen the study by looking also at other sources of material, such as the Insight book and the online library.

You can do the weekly reading of the Bible, whole or in part, and highlight the texts that catch your attention. Then, research more deeply about that or those texts that you highlighted. If you want, you can also include the text and research in your family worship notebook.

Family with children - teenagers

You can, for example, prepare the Watchtower study. Each family member reads a paragraph from the study, accompanying the biblical texts cited in the article, then answer the question in each paragraph. At the end, prepare the answers to the study recap questions. If you wish, research the content studied in other sources, with the online library for example.

Family with children - children

Choose a part of the meeting that you and your children like most or that deal with a subject that you consider important to the family. Read the content out loud to your children, including Bible texts. Ask them what they understood from what was read and what they think is important. Then, research together the content studied in other sources of material, such as the online library or the website jw.org.

You can read a portion of your weekly Bible reading to your children or prepare the midweek meeting study book, reading the texts and analyzing the pictures, always asking them what they understood and what they think about what they are studying.
