Lent Family Devotional

This year for Lent we are inviting families to take a new kind of journey. One that may look a bit overwhelming at first but will be rewarding in the end. If you haven't already stop by the Life Works Chapel and pick up a Lent family devotional kit. Inside the devotional kit you will find tools to help you start having a family devotional time. This is simply a time when your entire family (even the babies) sit down together. During that time you can talk about how your day went, ask each other where you've seen God at work, and most importantly pray with each other. 

These past two Sundays we have been blessed to witness three babies and an adult be baptized. We have said in that covenant that we are going to help them on their Spiritual journey. That we as a church are going to stand alongside these families and disciple their children. 

How can we make sure that we are doing this well? Where do we start in making disciples of our children so they in turn can make disciples of those around them?

It starts in the home. It starts with the parents or guardians saying “YES! Discipling my child is important.”  Then it is us as a church helping you to know what that means to disciple your child and give you resources to do that.

This is where your family devotional box comes into play. This Sunday we handed out boxes that were full of resources for your as a family to use to have a family devotion time. We aren't just going to hand you a box and walk away we are going to continue to give you the tools you need to make this time a successful one.  We have added a tab to this blog, Family Devo Time, click on there to find tips and other tools to use to help your family connect together and to God.

Also, help us out by letting us know what you need or if there are things that have helped you during your family devotion time.  Let's work together as a team to help each other along this journey!
