Snow White Intergenerational Lesson: Faith and Disney

products_snowwhite_digital_c1ee24c6

Disney’s cultural influence is enormous.  A saying that I truly love states, “If we don’t teach our children how to follow Christ, the world will teach them not to.” My husband and I have been teaching a midweek intergenerational study on “Faith and Disney”. The entire family joins us as we examine the religious messages found in our favorite Disney movies.  Unfortunately it has been difficult to find a good compilation of lessons which can fit into the intergenerational category…therefore, we are writing our own,  I really hope that you can use these lessons in your ministry or even as family faith talks at home.

When I began to think about this lesson plan, I came up with over 50 Disney movies that I could find scriptural references within.  We had to start with Snow White because it was the first Disney movie.

Do you ever feel that you perform your ministry job as if you’re jumping from lily pad to lily pad?  You have Easter, and VBS, and Fall Festivals, and you better jump back to catch church camp.  And then Christmas as well as all the other “smaller” details in between.

To help some of you from drowning among the reeds (and Easter egg hunts) I thought I would give you a taste of something our church does at Easter. Continue reading
