Kids 9: A Time to Sow \[The Cottage Meetings for Kids material is organized by stories and activities individual families can participate in all month long, \] followed by an Activity Day Outline designed for a co-op style setting where multiple families can share what they’ve learned and enjoy a fun day of activities, stories and games highlighting the monthly theme. This Month’s Theme: A Time to Sow This month’s theme is all about fortifying your home and strengthening your family. The Law of the Harvest suggests that if we take the time today to sow seeds of good manners, self government and treasuring family relationships (like family dinner time), we will reap the benefits tomorrow. Quality family time is found in the small and simple things that are repeated consistently over time.
