      Who Let The Dads Out

      Product Description

      Mark Chester’s “Who Let The Dads Out?” gives you the motivation and methods to transform your church’s toddler sessions specifically for toddlers and their dads, step dads, granddads and male carers. This book tells you how Who Let The Dads Out? came into being its vision, its achievement in building relationships between fathers and children and father and church. It offers you a practical guide for setting up and running the monthly sessions, complete with theological background, real-life case studies, helpful hints and tips, and twelve easy craft ideas that dads and kids can do together.

      Mark Chester says: “A Who Let The Dads Out?’ session is simple. A church takes a normal parent and toddler session, moves it to a Saturday, incorporates masculine touches, such as bacon butties and newspapers, and targets it specifically at fathers and male guardians and their children. It is a format that has worked in many churches and has had a positive impact on people's lives.”

      Many churches throughout the country have set up their own groups to engage with fathers and their children. ‘Who Let The Dads Out?’ and the companion book ‘School's Out, Dad's About’give you a mix of theology, philosophy and practical guidance about how to set up and run all of the groups. Start now to make you church a place men, fathers and children will find welcoming and the first step toward a family faith.

      • What is Who Let The Dads Out?
      It is a parent and toddler session specifically for dads, male guardians and their children. It is based on the traditional parent and toddler format, but usually takes place on a Saturday morning and includes a few masculine touches, such as bacon butties and newspapers.

      • Why Should We Set One Up?
      Who Let The Dads Out? is a great way to get the men of your community through the doors of your church building and gives you the opportunity to begin to build relationships with them and their children.

      • How Do We Set Up A Group?
      It is very simple. It might be worth trying a one-off session to begin with - just to get things off the ground. Take the format of whatever you do for parents and toddlers during your weekday sessions and move it to a Saturday morning. Advertise it for fathers, male guardians and their children, and tell the people who come along to your weekday group about the Saturday morning session. Finally, get the grill going to fuel a steady supply of bacon butties! If you don't have a weekday parent and toddler group, see 'What help can we get?' below.

      Includes the theological background to the Who Let the Dads Out project. This title examines a father's role in passing on the Christian faith to his children and challenges the church to respond to the specific needs of dads in the local community. It tells the story of Who Let the Dads Out and offers a practical guide for setting up a group.
