Family Worship Guide: Week of August 28th, 2022
Parents, we recommend you grab the Family Worship Bible Guide for your family worship. Then remember to simply pray with your family and sing a familiar song after you read and discuss a passage of Scripture. We suggest you do this either first thing in the morning or at dinner while everyone is gathered around the dinner table or right before bed. The point is to establish daily rhythms of worship in your home. The flow can look like this:
- Read a passage of Scripture and discuss (2-5 minutes)
- Pray (2-3 minutes)
- Sing (3-5 minutes)
Here are the catechism questions and answers we are currently reviewing as well as the memory verse:
