Family Altar

Two Sundays ago, Brian and Emily Adams shared about "the Family Altar" and how they approach devotions at their home. (Refer to the post below to watch the Sunday school lesson in its entirety.)

One exercise they use with their three children is a daily sharing time based on a theme. Here is the theme for each day, in case you are interested in using a similar tool in your homes.
