We also have an annual picnic in July for the entire CFM community, and we are planning on having a winter potluck for the whole group. Program booklets are available to meet the needs of all families. There are booklets specifically designed to support single parent families, families of teens in crisis, newly married couples, couples in their middle years of marriage, widows and widowers, as well as couples who are parenting young children. The time commitment varies depending on the needs of each individual group. The groups that are currently in action meet at least once a month for a regular meeting.
Families also spend a little time reading and reflecting on the upcoming meeting's materials.
Actions for the month are decided upon at the meetings, so individual groups may meet at flexibly scheduled times. Leaders of CFM need to organize the yearly calendar, schedule the church nursery when needed, provide rooms for meetings, order CFM materials, and plan with individual group leaders. Program booklets are available for review. Families are also welcome to join us to sit in on a group meeting. CFM also provides leaders with leadership booklets and booklets with ideas for family actions at a nominal cost.
