Heartlanders,

Is anyone doing the kind of family night programming in your
congregation that is described below in this inquiry from ministerial

Hello,

My name is Melissa Ziemer and I am a ministerial intern at Unity Church
- Unitarian in St. Paul, MN.  We are preparing to launch a "church
night" this spring and are hoping to gather some information from
congregations who have successfully launched this program initiative.
The program we have in mind will begin with a short,
multi-generational/family friendly worship service followed by a shared
meal and culminating in numerous opportunities to take classes, attend
meetings, do family projects around spiritual themes etc. We are
thinking about a once a week model over the course of the formal
church year.    

Would you be able to point me to a mid-sized or larger congregation in
your district that has a similar program?  We are in the research phase
and would love to talk with others who are doing this well.

Thanks,
Melissa Ziemer
