Good news! The diocese of Bath and Wells have produced this amazing resource for families to do together. It is called Bible Chat Mat. Simply follow the instructions together as a family: enjoy time together, enjoy the story, enjoy the activities, enjoy know Jesus more.
Click on the Sunday we are on, and then print off the sheet
22nd March 2020 – Jesus the Builder

Each sheet asks you to read a story from the bible. Either use the one you have at home or use an online bible. You can choose loads of different versions but if you’re not sure I suggest you try the New Living Translation (NLT). If you need/want an audio bible, please try this one.
It doesn’t have to be done on a sunday (although its often when families are together) but make sure you dig out some time together each week as a family to spend time together with God. We’ve divided the 7 sheets across the next 7 sundays as a way for all families to be learning the same thing as a church in a particular week (although the resource is available any time).
Why not start a whatsapp group with another family in church, or agree to meet on Skype/Zoom/etc, each week at a certain time to talk about life, enjoy time together (virtually) and share some of the things you’ve learnt about God that week?
Happy discipling!
Peter
