Happy Mother's Day (Group in Recess)

Theme Verse
^"May your father and mother rejoice; may she who gave you birth be joyful!" Proverbs 23:25

We hope that you have a great Mother's Day celebrating the woman in your life. We pray that your families takes advantage of this time off and share some quality time together. To help you remember why God gave us moms and women, we have provided some simple conversations around scripture verses on mothers.

Take advantage of our weekly family conversations. In fact, studies show that if your family talks about faith in the home, it is more likely that your teen will keep their faith once they graduate from high school. You can uses these short reflections and questions to talk about faith on a walk, in the car on the way to practice or school, or at the dinner table. I pray that your student and family will discover how God can shape your spiritual journeys together.
