Family Resources

Here at St Paul we acknowledge that the household is the most important place where faith formation occurs. Our aim is to equip and resource our households to be places where faith is lived out and both taught and caught. We believe in the words of Deuteronomy 6:6-7 that our children need to hear the words of God's teaching at home, when you walk and when you rise.

We encourage using Growing Faith at Home each week in your home to nurture and encourage the faith of your household. Households which engage in shared meals and conversations, table grace, family devotions and Bible reading are most likely to grow in faith together.

Growing Faith at Home uses 4 key ways that we can use to unlock faith in the household.
1. Caring Conversation
2. Devotions
3. Rituals and Traditions
4. Service

Find out more about these keys by following the below links.

Sharing Your Faith

Here are some videos that also explain how and why to use the four keys in your home.

Growing Faith Moments

In a similar format to Growing Faith at Home and utilising the Four Keys concepts. Growing Faith Moments are a great resource to weave your faith into the many day to day milestone moments of our lives. We encourage you to try using these at homes for any event big or small and include a sample of these below for you to try. If you are after more moments to use or help in using them contact us - we would love to help you.

Seasons

The seasons of the church year offer a variety of opportunities for households to celebrate, learn, and have fun with their faith together. We have selected some activities for each season and celebration of the church year. We encourage all households to create a sacred space in their home somewhere and to use it to mark the seasons of the church year and weave church and faith into everyday life.
