We pray this guide will be a tool your family uses as you worship together during the week. We hope the simplicity and straightforward nature of each question will allow husbands and fathers to lead their families confidently, regardless the age of their children.  This is also a great resource for single moms, couples, and men and women of all ages.  For families of young children, gathering together to read a short scripture and prayer is a feat in itself.  For families of older children and students, these simple questions may lead to much conversation. What matters most is that your family worships together regularly.  As your family grows in their love for Jesus, this time together in your home will only become more precious as will our time together as a church family on Sundays.  God bless your family as you seek His face together!
