New Day Light™ Calendar Helps You Focus Your Family on God's Word
Hey leaders,
Do you find that it's suddenly the second week of November?! I'm amazed to realize that it's been three months since I wrote you about Billy Graham's regret and challenged us all to put discipling our own kids first...always first.
So how has it been going in that category? I know you all have invested hundreds of thousands of hours (cumulatively) in Awana ministries this fall -- and how we thank God for your commitment! How about things at home?
If life still seems a little too crazy-busy to seize opportunities at home, here's a simple idea to help you orient your daily family life around God and His Word. It's called the Day Light™ Calendar -- new from our Awana at Home™ resource line under the HomeBase ministry.
It's pretty simple:
- Download the PDF file and print out the information page (page 1)
- Print out the calendar page (either page 2, 3 OR 4) that features Bible verses in your preferred Scripture version: KJV, NIV or NKJV
- Use the calendar for a daily suggestion or encouragement toward family spiritual life...which means, by the way, that you may have to do something. Let's be people of action at home as well as "out there"!
- Invest a few moments of family time each day memorizing the weekly verse together. The color coding will guide you toward what portions should be memorized by different age family members.
- Choose to talk about the things of God with your family -- the calendar is simply a starting place for you.
Look for a new Day Light™ Calendar each month on the HomeBase page -- and let us know what you think!
Inside Info: We've been reviewing concept art for the revised T&T Book Four here in the past couple of weeks. Also, the audio production begins this week on the Sparks WingRunner™ handbook CD for next year. Exciting stuff!!
