home to learn about Jesus. The Bible teaches that parents should train their children in the way they
should go. Use this section sometime on Sunday when it works for you to help your home know Jesus
more.

both now and forever. In Jesus' name,
Amen.

Romans 14:7-8
"For none of us lives to himself,
and none of us dies to himself.
For if we live, we live to the lord, and if we die,
we die to the Lord. So then,
whether we live or whether we die,
we are the Lord's."
- Use this prayer to pray with family or by yourself.
