MAKE 2020 A HAPPY NEW YEAR FOR YOUR WHOLE FAMILY

The Faith Stories™ project has been developed by my good friends at Adult Lutherans Organized for Action (ALOA)

[1] to help older adults record a video testimony of their faith and life story. This resource partners older adults with young people to produce their video Faith Story™. I asked ALOA for permission to share their project with my readers.

 

Check out this sample of what a Faith Stories™ video can be.

 

DIRECTION IS RIGHT HERE

on their Faith Stories™ website. All you need for one person to work with a young person on their own faith story or in a more elaborate context, a congregation-wide project for interested older adults.[2]

 

A “HOW TO” GUIDE FOR FAITH STORIES™ includes:

  1. Overview
  2. Basic Steps
  3. Equipment List
  4. Faith Stories™ Ideas for those Closest to Heaven
  5. Top 10 Questions
  6. Faith Stories™ Nuts & Bolts
  7. Storytelling Basics – Organizing the Multitude of Memories
  8. A Pastor’s Perspective on Faith Stories™

 

When you visit the FAITH STORIES™ website you will find the helps and information you need to do your own Faith Story. You can even make FAITH STORIES™ a church-wide project.

 

Tell your friends about FAITH STORIES™. And while you’re at it, why not encourage them to subscribe to PERSPECTIVE the blog[3]? Another great idea. What an exciting idea for the New Year 2020 and you heard about it here!

 

May 2020 be a blessed and happy year for you.
