Equipping Intentional Grandparents (Workbook): Volume 1 - Grandparenting Essentials

This workbook, combined with the accompanying video presentations from Legacy Coalition’s Grand Monday Nights, is the first Volume in a series of small group video studies called Equipping Intentional Grandparents. These study series are meant to provide instruction and inspiration for you as you pursue a greater purpose in your grandparenting. As you watch the video presentations, you can follow along in this workbook, which has fill-in-the-blanks for keywords. There are six Sessions, with breaks in the middle and at the end for grandparents to discuss questions included in the workbook.

Being intentional in my grandparenting is driven by a passion: there is nothing I want more than to have my children and my grandchildren in heaven with me, and I am going to pursue that goal until God calls me home. Being intentional means that I have a spiritual purpose that guides my grandparenting, and I align what I do with grandkids around that purpose. Not being intentional means I could be missing many opportunities to impact those precious grandkids that I love so much.

We pray that you will be blessed and encouraged to perpetuate a legacy of faith to future generations.
