We know how hard it can be to get your kids to do something other than watching Paw Patrol. To help you out, we've got 4 easy steps to help keep Sundays holy and celebrate church at home the best you can.
We are so grateful to be part of your family, and we are committed to helping you and your kids stay connected to your church. If we can help in any way, DM us on Facebook or Instagram.

Praying with your kids can be a bit awkward. After all, sometimes our kids can be unpredictable and a bit crazy (am I right?)... but seeing their parents pray is a great way for them to understand the importance of prayer. Before you move to the video, pray together with a simple prayer, like:
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Heavenly Father,
We know we don’t always obey You. We sometimes run from You like Jonah. Help us to see how important it is to obey You. Give us hearts to want Your way more than our way. We love You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
In Jesus' name,
Amen!In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Read Jonah 3. 1-5
Like Jonah, sometimes we mess up. The great news is that like Jonah repented, we can too. And like him, we can focus on God and obey Him again. When we do, God might use us to do something great, like He did when He sent Jonah to give the message to the Ninevite people and their king.
● What do you think it might have been like to pray from inside a big fish?
● What did you learn about God from what happened to Jonah?
● What are some ways we can obey God the first time we hear from Him?
We are so happy you took time for faith this Sunday. Now, print out these sheets, and hopefully enjoy some quiet time as your kids colour (one can hope!).
If you enjoyed these resources, or if we can do anything to help your family, please send us a message on Facebook or Instagram. We are praying for your family.
Taking kids to church is hard, so drop them off before Mass and our amazing team will take care of them.
Just pick them after, please!☺
