Faith Formation Framework Series 4: Faith Catalyzed by Family Intimacy and IntentionalitySample

Family Worship

Focus

Mindfulness: Picture your loved ones gathered for a moment of shared prayer, song, or Scripture.

Listen

Scripture: Joshua 24:15 (NRSV)

"As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord."

Reflection:

Worship is not limited to church services. In daily life, worship can take many shapes—reading Scripture together, praying before meals, singing songs, lighting candles during Advent, or simply naming God’s goodness aloud. These shared practices create a spiritual rhythm that shapes both adults and children. Family worship reminds young people that God is not confined to specific buildings but is moving in every corner of life. Simple, repeated acts of shared devotion plant seeds of faith that continue to grow across generations.
