Your kids see you and speak to you every day, while they are only in church on Sunday mornings. They get to see you live out your faith through practicing spiritual disciplines, spending time in fellowship with other believers, relying on the Holy Spirit through trials, and witnessing to the lost.

We also recognize there are many demands on your time and attention. Sometimes it can feel overwhelming to try to find the "right" way to do family devotions or start spiritual conversations with your child, particularly if you grew up in a home where that was not the norm. We want to help by providing a simple structure for family worship that we hope will develop into a routine for you and your family, if you do not already have one.

Choose a time of day when your entire family, or at least one parent and the kids, are all home and have around ten minutes relatively free. Try to connect this time to a routine you already have in place, such as drinking your morning coffee. For families with older kids, the best time might be in the evening just before bedtime; for families with toddlers, the best time might be in the morning right after breakfast. Do what works for you and your family!
