Kids Korner: Be prepared for God’s call (August 7th)
Read Luke 12:32-40 with your family. Always being prepared seems hard to do. Waiting is hard.

Kids Korner: Mary & Martha (July 17th)
Read Luke 10:38-42 with your family. The story of Mary & Martha has often been seen as a housework story, because people in past decades and centuries thought that was what “women’s work” meant.
