Our daily routines in our families are changing dramatically. Our childrens’ expectations are having to be rethought and that can be hard for them to understand. How can we as parents help them and ourselves through this challenging time?

We need to ground ourselves in God’s Word first and foremost. We are weak but He is strong and we can face each day together in His strength.

SUNDAYS

We want to enable families to engage together in church so please feel free to use the resources to help you engage in the talk and suggestions for family prayer times and crafts and activities during the week so that together as a family you can all connect with God’s Word and relate it to our lives each week. Two big questions we can ask at the end of each session are:

a. What have I learnt about God today?

b. What difference is this going to make to me this week?
