Connecting with God's Word on a snow day
Come together as a family
Instructions:
While we are all home, let’s take time to have some fun and engage with God’s Word together! Below is a list of items you may (or may not!) have around your home. As a family, work together to find each item and read the Bible verse that goes along with it. After reading, feel free to use the discussion questions to talk about the verse and how the item connects to it. You don’t have to answer the questions for every item, they’re simply there as a guide if you’d like!
For bonus points, take a picture of your family with each item as you find them. If you find all 12 items, you would have 12 different pictures with each item. We’ll share these photos in a slideshow on Sunday and on our social media pages. The more creative and silly your pictures are, the better!
If you have any questions or would like to send in photos to be shared, feel free to reach out to Levi at 304-615-3257 or levi.casto@pearidgebaptist.com.
