Stories of Faith Questions
These
questions are based on the Sunday scripture readings. We invite you to
use them
for personal reflection and for starting conversations within families.
Our
homes are the most basic and primary of all faith communities. Sharing
our
stories of faith can be a wonderful way for deepening connections
within
families and for waking up to the presence of God in our every day
lives.
