 Search Identifier: 11962132970 Lenten Key Cards We made up key change cards for the six weeks of Lent. On one side of each card we used the four keys of the Child in Our Hands: Caring conversations, family devotions, family service and family rituals and traditions. The back side gave a brief description of some legend and/or tradition relating to the Lenten/Easter season.

This might be a way to kick off the Four Keys model in a congregation. If a church wanted to start using this model given by the Youth and Family Institute, this would be a nice way to introduce it to those who are not familiar with this model. I would love to use these cards at our midweek meal which we call Café Midweek. I think having two or three sets out at the dinner table while families are gathered to eat would be a great time for them to ask some of those questions. One limitation I find with this set-up I’ve described is the need to do some of the activities at home. I would have extras available for families to take home in the event that they really liked working through the cards together and wanted to do more of them on a nightly basis at home. Some of the service elements (Key 3) and some of the Rituals and Traditions (Key 4) would have to be done at home or away from the church anyway so it would be necessary to have copies on hand so that they could remember what was listed to do for that week. This tool uses different learning styles that John M. Bracke and Karen B. Tye speak of in their book, Teaching the Bible in the Church. Sometimes one is asked for conversation and another time one is asked for action and reaction. This is a great use of different learning styles that are bound to be necessary within the family unit.
