Healthy families are important for the health of the congregation. Many churches see the need to focus energy on strengthening families.
Musical drama based on the life of Jesus has its roots in the liturgy. The musical dramas presented at Zion Lutheran, Litchfield, Illinois, involved families and provided opportunities for their enrichment.

Participants who filled out surveys confirmed growth in positive assets.
