Family Faith Formation Tip ~ Faith 5 is a simple five-step family faith formation practice that your family can do together. First, share your highs and lows of the day. Then read a Bible verse or story together. Talk about how the Bible reading might relate to your highs and lows, pray for one another’s highs and lows, and bless one another. Faith5 is great for kids of all ages! Check out Faith5.org for more ideas.
World Hunger ~ In communities where poverty is prevalent, men, women and children often struggle to grow enough
food, lack access to clean water, fight to rebuild after a disaster and experience injustice. A devotional for adults and children is available for World Hunger Sunday at the Welcome Table.
