As a church, we want to respond to God's love and grace by practicing discipleship in every area of our lives. This includes our family life!
Did you know your kids are only in HopeKids for less than 1% of the time in a week? That's a big reason why we want to equip and resource you to practice discipleship with your entire family.
Each month we'll share a discipleship practice that you can incorporate into your family life, and then practice it together throughout the week. This month's focus is worship. Immediately after the service, we'll have a fellowship lunch where we'll talk about how we can weave worship into our family's routine. And to put it into practice, we'll have a family worship time with kid-oriented music and a hands-on craft to take home!
