Growing in Grace-Confirmation Week

Week of Oct 23, 2013

 

 

This week at Saint Matthew’s, our 9^th Graders will be getting confirmed, and we will be celebrating Reformation Sunday.   Our hope for you this week is that you can spend time during your Faith5, revisiting some of the basics…and remembering the promises you made at your confirmation and your child’s baptism.  May your time together help your family to strengthen your faith and your relationships with each other and our awesome God.

Remember the Faith 5 is 5 simple steps:

1.  SHARE highs and lows of the day
2.  READ and highlight a verse of Scripture in your Bible  
3.  TALK about how the verse relates to your highs and lows
4.  PRAY for your highs and lows, your family and the world
5.  BLESS one another.

Share:  Where is one place you saw God at work today?  What is one thing you wish you could change about today?  What is one way you served someone else today?

Read:

Wednesday-Isaiah 11:2
Thursday-John 8:12
Friday-Romans 15:5
Saturday-2 Corinthians 13:13
Sunday-2 Thessalonians 1:3
Monday-Numbers 6:23-26
Tuesday-Romans 12:1

Talk: What does the daily reading mean to you?  How does it apply to you?  To how your day has gone?

Pray:  For those who are about to be confirmed, for all kids as they grow in the faith, for parents who teach their children about God, for those who have yet to know God and his love

Bless: Make a sign of the cross on the person being blessed’s forehead, and say “Remember at your baptism, you were sealed by the Holy Spirit and marked with the cross of Christ forever.”
