This resource is designed to allow your family to have time in God’s Word BEFORE your children attend church. Because God’s plan is for parents to be the primary spiritual nurturers of their children’s faith, we want YOU to be the one to introduce this part of The Big God Story to them.
• Worship literally means, “giving worth to something.”
For additional support in spiritual parenting and to learn more about creating transforming environments in your home, be sure to pick up HomeFront: A Spiritual Parenting Resource from your church or download at HomeFrontMag.com.

• When we worship God, we’re able to give voice to our deepest thoughts and feelings for Him.
1.12
Allowing your child to be a part of your own worship experiences will provide him with a solid foundation as he learns how to relate to God. As he watches you worship, he’ll develop a healthy perspective about how to worship God himself.
• Worship is not just singing. Everything we do can be directed to God in worship.
