Offering Sunday Resources

Sunday, August 25, 2019 is our designated offering Sunday! This year our bulletin inserts for that day are bookmarks that include five helpful steps to help people encounter God’s word more deeply. We also offer a short video that provides a clear and concise overview of our ministry. You can share the video with your congregation during (or a week prior to) the offering.

Family Faith Formation Toolkit

This toolkit will help you develop a vision for family faith formation in your congregation and equip parents and caregivers with family faith practices and resources!

 

"Family faith is formed at home, but it’s also formed in community life as together we include, encourage, and equip families. In community we show by our actions that families are part of a bigger tribe—God’s family, their church—and that the body of Christ is with them every step of the way."
