GROWING FAITH AT HOME

This resource is developed by the Lutheran Church of Australia and is intended to be a guide in sharing faith activities with members of your family.

Here are a few ways you could introduce faith discussions in your home and day-to-day life.

This week in the Bible reading Jesus talks about Christians being his brothers and sisters. Christians receive, through Jesus, a whole new family to love and care for them as they in turn love and care for others.

“Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.” (Mark 3:35)

Mealtime Prayer: Round this table here to pray, first we thank you for the day. For our family and our friends, gifts of grace that heaven lends. Amen.

Prayer: Lord God, thank you for the gift of family. Help us to remain united, serving you and loving one another. Amen.

Blessing: (Child’s name) May you always know you are a child of God. Amen.
