National Grandparents Day is Sunday, Sept. 10, and it’s not too late for your church to develop a plan to honor these very special adults. Legacy Coalition is a good place to start.
The organization’s mission is to help grandparents grow in their biblical role so they can have a greater spiritual impact on their families. Legacy Coalition provides resources and events, including a free downloadable Grandparents Day 2023 kit and the annual Legacy Grandparenting Summit.
The Grandparents Day kit includes printable bulletin inserts, bookmarks, sermon notes and social media templates, plus a guide with ideas on how to celebrate grandparents with food, fun and fellowship.
Annual conference
The kit also includes information on this year’s Legacy Grandparenting Summit. The conference is for grandparents who:
- Want to see their grandchildren follow Christ.
- Desire to leave a lasting legacy of love.
- Want to influence generations of their family for Christ.
The live event will be held at Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas, Texas, Oct. 19–20, but three Alabama churches are among those across the nation hosting broadcasts of the events.
Alabama events
Events in Alabama will be held at:
- Mountain Brook Community Church, Birmingham, Oct. 19–20.
- Shades Crest Baptist Church, Birmingham, Oct. 20–21.
- First Baptist Church Dadeville, Nov. 2–3.
This year’s speakers include Tony Evans, pastor of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship; Mark Yarbrough, president of Dallas Theological Seminary; and Jean and Jeremiah Castille, founders of the Jeremiah Castille Foundation; and several others.
Now a minister, Jeremiah was a star cornerback at the University of Alabama and played six seasons in the NFL (1983–1988) for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Denver Broncos. Jean is an author and speaker.
Legacy Coalition also hosts a webinar, Grand Monday Nights, every Monday evening and offers curriculum for small groups.
