I will be giving you some ways to connect with God and stay connected as well as discover who he is and what does and is still doing for you, me and your child!
God: He is the Father, the Creator and Sustainer of our lives.
Jesus: God’s Son is the Savior of the World. Through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus, God made a way for all people to enjoy heaven with Him forever!
Holy Spirit: This part of God, makes Jesus real in the lives of believers, empowers the Church (group of believers), and creates new spiritual life in us.
As with any relationship, getting to know and appreciate our God takes time and some practice. It will take your child several activities, books and interactions to understand who is God. Here are some suggestions to help you in this exciting journey to faith….
