what we do is we each have our own assignment.
1 person- Conducts
2 person- opening song
3 person- opening prayer
4 person- lesson
5 person- family counsel (where we talk about whatever we need to)
6 person- testomony (those who want to share their testimony)
7 person- prayer (we found out 2 songs was too much the kids don't like it)
8 person- activity
9 person- refreshment
we have 11 people in our family i'm 16 the second oldest and then my sister's husband lives with us. we have an agenda that has who does what and it changes every week. and only the people who are old enough to understand what all the categories are are the ones that have an assignment. the two youngest don't.
that's worked for us and if someone has to be gone then we have it without them. we've been doing this for about 4 years.
