As we do this, however, we must remember that the Bible often is not specific enough. Teachers need to be encouraged to give specific suggestions that people can take home and try out. Another source of workable ideas is the class itself. Members should be encouraged to share information, ideas and experiences. Remember too, many persons no only need spiritual help to prepare for family life, they also lack basic family and household skills such as communication, decision making, cooking and financial management.
Churches can do a great deal to support families if they are tuned in to the needs of the home.
We all need fellowship with other believers, we need reinforcement from those of like mind, and we need biblical training to understand the Word. Parents want their children to develop friendships with other Christian kids and they want them to see and learn from other positive adult role models within the church and Sunday school. Surprisingly, one of the biggest things that most families are looking for in a church is not the theology, the facilities or even the pastor, it's a sense of community that they see and feel within the church. Even though most are looking for personal benefits, they are also looking for opportunities to be needed and to make a contribution to others. They want to find acceptance.
