“Autumn is a mellower season, and what we lose in flowers, we more than gain in fruits.”

-Samuel Butler

1. Family Crafts and Worship Music (Crafts has always been a way for our family to spend quality time with one another. We personally love creating DIY fall decorations together as a family.)

2. Scavenger Hunts and Nature Hikes (This is a great way to admire God’s creation and the change of foliage. We have had some of the best family photo sessions in the fall!)

3.Bonfire with s’mores (In this time together, families can always have a Bible study, prayer time together, or play worship music while sitting by the fire with your sweet treats.”

4. Fall Festivals & Pumpkin Patches (Our family has always attended fall festivals and love carving faith themed carvings into our pumpkins.)

5. Wholesome movie nights with Fall Baked Sweet Treats (There are so many awesome faith-filled seasonal movies to choose from. The list is endless!)

6. Camping Trips (We adore our yearly glamping trip as a family. There is nothing like it in the fall. We love to find waterfalls in the area and leave stones with scriptures.)

7. Visit an Apple Orchard and Pick Apples (This is a great opportunity to share the story of Adam and Eve with your little ones if you haven’t yet.)

8. Cooking New Festive Recipes as a Family (If you’re family loves cooking together as a family, turning on some worship music and challenging one another with creating a wholesome fall affiliated recipe may be a wonderful idea to consider this fall.)

9. Community Events & Fellowship (Our community normally host Fall Festivals with Trunk or Treats, worship music, cooked food & blow-up houses for the kids. These are usually hosted at local churches in the area. We find them on Facebook.)

10. Family Devotion Nights (These nights can be a game filled night as a family, prayer time, or a combination of any of the activities listed above. Family nights are for devoting time to one another.)
