Freedom and Unity-Summer Week 1 2019

Hello blog friends!  Long time now see!  We hope this latest blog finds you and your family doing well as you make the transition from school year to summer!

Things at church are winding down for the program year. We are looking forward to worship this weekend as well as a fun "worship around the bonfire" next Weds at 6:30 pm. We hope you can join us for one or both of these events!   

Here's your Faith 5 Devos for the week:

Share highs and lows.  Each day gather with your family and share your high and low of the day.  Listen to each other and hear what each person is saying.  Talk about how everyone is feeling about school ending and starting summer.  What are they most excited about?  What are they worried about?  If you live alone, journal your highs and lows, or choose a friend or family member that you can call and share them with.

Read the assigned bible verse(s) together. 

Talk about the verse.  How does it relate to the highs and lows? Talk it through as a family…or, if you are a family of one, journal your answer.  Unpack the verse a bit.        What does it mean in your own words? How might it relate to where you are today in your highs and lows?

Pray for one another’s highs and lows, for your family, and for the world. Simply talk to God, thank Jesus for the good, and ask the Holy Spirit for guidance in specific problems.  If you would like, pray for the suggested prayer concerns.

Bless one another. Lay your hands on each other’s heads and say…In Christ you are set free and made new each day!
