1.  We created and implemented a curriculum that engaged children and parents in learning that God's table is a table of welcome, grace, love, and peace, using methods that employ both multi-sensory and multi-intelligences.

2. The Bibles and a Bible Blitz (A Journey through the Bible) workshop helped parents and their children learn together, focusing on such things as how to use a Bible (noting the format and location of the books and their stories), why we read from the Bible in our worship services, and how learning about the Bible is fun for all ages.

3. Using interactive games to engage teams of parents and children to solve clues and find answers in other bible stories.

4. Families were able to learn about Biblical history, food, traditions, and culture (including Levitical law and table fellowship), and were able to set a table of what people in the Old and New Testaments would eat
