This is a continuation of sharing ideas for connecting the generations of women. See part 1 & 2 first!
More practical ideas for connecting the different generations of women:
7. Mother/daughter/other retreat-a mom and daughter plan to go to the retreat together but each girl brings an unchurched friend. It’s a special outreach event that connects the generations.
8. Meals on Heels-a creative take on Meals on Wheels. Younger and older women cook together and freeze meals. When needs arise, they deliver them together.
9. Jewelry party-very simply, the girls wanted to make jewelry and decided on the spur of the moment to invite older women to join them. Several accepted and it was a sweet time of sharing as they made some beautiful jewelry.
Watch for more ideas upcoming! Share your ideas for connecting the generations in a practical way! For more ideas also check out the categories on this blog “Leading Young Women” and “Top Ten for the Generations. “
