Many Black churches have attempted to provide family enrichment activities but have not attracted participants. The motivation of potential participants may be blocked because the members fear they will be blamed for family weaknesses. This project tests an intergenerational workshop which stresses six strengths of Black families. A theology based on the belief that humans are created in God's image and on the NT image of the household of faith supports the project. The workshop considers the biblical families of Moses and Ruth. It effectively attracts participants and enables the sponsoring committee to plan for follow-up. The workshop could be strengthened by making the African roots of the strengths more explicit and by being incorporated into the worship life of the church.
