Step 1: SHARE your highs and lows

What was the best part of your day? What was the worst? Name it. Claim it. Share it with those who love you. Daily sharing of the highs and lows of life helps people of all ages to be more self-aware, while strengthening communication and connection with others.

One important rule for Step 1- no judging highs and lows! If we judge, we quickly teach those we love that sharing is not safe. If your 8-year-olds' low for seventeen days in a row is "school", so be it. On day eighteen he may share with you something wonderful or awful that he would not have otherwise.

It's time to open God's word. Try one of these options:

Read Sunday's preaching text every night for a week, going deeper each night.

Ask family members and friends for their favorite verses.

Take turns choosing the nightly Bible verse.

Open the Bible randomly and point!

Use the weekly theme Bible verse from your Sunday school or confirmation curriculum.

In a pinch? Google "daily Bible verse".

The point is this - you cannot go wrong with God's word. Open it. Read it. Let it come alive among you.

And here's a tip for making the Scripture stick - learn a few key words in American Sign Language. You will find a great ASL video library at https://www.signingsavvy.com/

Step 3: TALK about how the verse might relate to your highs and lows

This is the step where God's holy text meets our real-life context.

Unpack the verse a bit. What does it mean in your own words? Wonder together about how it might relate to where you are today in your highs and lows. Go deep, asking what God might be trying to teach you through this particular Scripture passage on this particular day.

Step 3 tip: Don't be afraid to tell the truth. If you have no idea what God is saying to you through this particular verse, go ahead and say so. It's okay, because God's action doesn't depend on our comprehension. Thank God!

Step 4: PRAY for one another's highs and lows

Offer your hearts and minds in prayer. Simply talk to God, thank Jesus for the good, and ask the Holy Spirit for guidance in specific problems.

Take turns leading the prayer or write a family prayer together. Ask everyone to pray for the person on their right. End with the Lord's Prayer or start with "Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep". Offer the names of those on your church's prayer list. Out of ideas? Google "evening prayers".

The point is - you cannot do prayer wrong. Go together to God, offering the realities of your lives. Lay it all in the hands of the one who created you and is on duty all night long.

Step 5: BLESS one another

Trace the sign of the cross on one another's forehead or palm as a reminder that you belong to God and to one another. Make eye and heart contact as you share words of blessing such as "Jesus loves you and so do I" or "The Lord bless and keep you" or "You are a beloved child of God".

Acts 2:46
The believers met together in the Temple every day. They ate together in their homes, happy to share their food with joyful hearts.

While we are unable to meet in our church buildings we can still be 'Together at Home'. We're providing free resources for churches to share with their families to help them explore the Bible and learn about God together whilst in their own homes.

Each week we're producing two packs that churches can share full of family activities, Bible study, prayer and printable puzzle sheets. One of the packs is based on the readings of the Lectionary for those churches who follow the Lectionary Calendar.

There are also a range of other resources released daily to help children and families connect with God and one another.

All the 'Together at Home' resources are made by Jess - you can find out all about her on our new page.

You can look ahead to see what Bible stories we will be covering in our Sunday Packs on our

In these difficult times we will need to help some of the families in our churches and communities to say goodbye to people that they love.

We have created a resource in two parts; one for children to spend some time saying goodbye and a second to help parents as they love and support their children in the midst of their own grief.

All our Lectionary and Non-lectionary resources can be found on thepage.

Our sheets are designed for older children to help them do their own Bible Study/Quiet time activity.

The resource has been so popular that we have been working to translate it into other languages.

Our faith is not just something we check in with on Sundays; our faith is how we live lives of meaning and purpose every day of the week, if we will learn to notice and respond to how God is moving.

But this awareness, like anything worthwhile, takes practice. Which is why a weekly discipleship practice of Reading, Reflecting, and Responding to scripture in the context of community is so important.

The devotions on this site have been written with this practice in mind. Use them with friends or family to help you deepen your experience of faith experience from Monday-Saturday.

Advent means 'coming' and is the special four-week period leading up to Christmas. It is a time to prepare for the celebration of Jesus's birth but also for his coming in glory at the end of time.

Baptism involves declaring faith in God and being washed with water. It means being cleansed from sin, being united to Jesus Christ, receiving his Holy Spirit and becoming God's children. Sometimes called 'Christening'.

Prayer sustains our human relationship with God and may involve words (formal or informal) or be silent. Prayer can involve adoration ('I love you'), confession ('sorry'), thanksgiving and supplication ('please').
