Lead your heart and your household into next Sunday using these ideas and resources in one or all six areas as you worship at home together to fulfill God’s discipleship calling. Pick and choose what is most suitable for your home, using what will work best with the ages, stages, personalities, and interests you have present.
May your family be blessed by the time spent together, worshiping our Mighty God!
Blessings,
Kimber Walsh, Director of Family Life Ministry

- Hidden from Sight-Play a game where many items are displayed for all to see. Give 10-15 seconds to observe the items, then have everyone close their eyes and remove a couple items (or scramble the items) then give 30 seconds to observe the items and see what is different. Read Hebrews 4:13. Talk about what it means that nothing is hidden from God’s sight? Is this a comfort or conviction?
- Camel through Needle Eye-Find your largest stuffed animal and a needle. Talk about how the thread goes through the eye. Demonstrate this. Now, talk about how easily this largest stuffed animal could go through the eye of the needle. What about a whole camel? Read Mark 10:24-25. Discuss what is being referred to here.

- to pass on faith (Ps. 78:1-8, Deut. 32:44-47; Eph. 6:4)
