Complimentary Memento Helps Grandparents Forge A Lifetime of Memories from Christmases Past

Colorado Springs, Colorado —It’s that time of year. A time for gathering together ‘round hearth and home, sharing old family tales while visions of mashed potatoes and gravy dance in our heads; for baking gingerbread cookies with Grandma, and thrilling to Grandpa’s voice as he shares the well-loved story of Christ’s birth. It’s an opportunity to celebrate old family traditions, and forge new ones together.

In the spirit of the season, the Christian Grandparenting Network (CGN) is encouraging grandparents to become more involved in the lives of their grandchildren. By offering complimentary copies of its popular “Legacy Journal” to any grandparent willing to pledge to complete it with their grandchildren, CGN renews its commitment to helping grandparents pass along their traditions, values, and faith to their grandchildren.

“Grandparents are a precious, non-renewable family resource,” says CGN founder, the Reverend Cavin Harper. “They are the keepers of our stories, the wisest and most experienced members of society – those to whom we can look for guidance. Most grandparents are only too happy to share their invaluable, humorous insights about life…all the knowledge they have gleaned on the long road they’ve traveled toward spiritual maturity.”

The perfect Christmas gift, each copy of the “Legacy Journal” is a handsomely bound, 40-page heirloom-quality keepsake that grandparents can complete for their grandchildren, or can make into a bonding Christmas activity that families can do together. The “Legacy Journal” is designed to accommodate the sharing of unique family traditions, as well as foster the uncovering of fascinating family stories.

And for the active, outdoor enthusiast, give the gift of a Grand Camp adventure. It’s summer camp, but better because you’ll be doing all those treasured summertime activities – heavenly hikes, fabulous fishing, refreshing swims, wild and wonderful white water rafting, informative field trips, crackling campfires, yummy marshmallow roasts, silly sing-a-longs, and snug sleeps in a alpine cabin – with the people who mean everything to you.

“Grand Camps are about more than just enjoying the great outdoors,” explains Reverend Harper. “It’s a way to dispel the negative stereotype of grandparents as sedate, elderly couples who sit home watching reruns of old black and white movies. Grand Camps help to bring grandparents into the forefront of their families, where they ought to be, and inspire joyous summertime memories year round…ones that can unite generations together, and build meaningful and eternal family traditions.”

To obtain a copy of the Legacy Journal or learn more about Grand Camps, go to www.christiangrandparenting.com, or contact Reverend Harper by telephone at 1-719-522-1404. Supplies of the “Legacy Journal” are limited, so reserve your copy of this vital family resource as soon as possible.

About CGN

Reverend Cavin Harper created ElderQuest Ministries (now called Christian Grandparenting Network) when his own parents and others expressed to him their dissatisfaction with retirement. Reverend Harper realized that the role of the idle retiree was not part of God’s intention for family elders, and founded CGN in order to help grandparents reclaim their rightful role and place in the family. Grandparents are a key element in proclaiming the goodness of God to the youngest members of each family, and their upright example and righteous living can set paths for grandchildren that will lead to a positive and healthy journey through life. CGN provides free resources and events such as its annual “Grand Camps” to assist the older generation in fulfilling their biblical role in the family, and in fulfilling God’s plan for family structure.
