NOTE, THE BULLETIN INSERTS HAVE CHANGED from the "Kids in the Divine Service" back to the "Family Devotions" for the school year.  These are intended as a beginning devotional (if you are not used to doing family devotions), or a supplement to daily family devotions. For parents, these are meant to assist in your responsibility to teach your child the faith they have been baptized into. Having your child repeat the Catechism and "What does this mean" aloud, reading Scripture(s) and praying with your child is the second part of Christ's command on making a disciple...the teaching part. (...make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and teaching them all that I have commanded you) Matthew 28:19b. - Pastor
