Developing Spiritually as a Family | 9:30 – 10:30am | Truett Chapel REGISTER AM HERE
This class will break down Deuteronomy 6 as a roadmap for developing spiritually as a family. We’ll take a close look at three areas of instruction from this passage, and more importantly, how we practically integrate them into the daily-ness of our lives as a family, in this fast-paced world. This class will also look at the scientific link between spirituality and health, and the data around how kids are affected when they have a positive, active relationship with God. We’ll end with five easy practices any family can fold into the rhythm of their lives each week together. This class is for parents and grandparents of toddlers to young adults.
