“Try This” ideas for families:
One: St. Jerome said, “Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ.” Read your Bible every day this month.
Two: Keep a prayer journal this month. Use it to record scripture, words of praise and thanksgiving, confession, and prayer requests for yourself and others.
Three: Talk together about people and experiences that have helped you grow in your faith.
Four: Talk together as a family about what FAITH is/looks like and come up with your own idea about how to practice FAITH and FAITHFULNESS.
