Even though the church gathering is cancelled, today is a great opportunity for your family to worship the Lord together. This guide should be used as a tool for family worship. Although we can’t gather as the body of Christ, it is important that we still worship God on the Lord’s Day.
WORSHIP
Take the time to sing a couple worship songs together as a family. You can do your personal favorites or worship along to one of our previous worship services on Youtube. You can use the links to worship to some of our songs we use in Konnection Kids that your kids will know!

READ
Read John 11:17-44. It is the story of Lazarus. Here are a couple things to think about as you read it:
Martha’s Faith
Jesus’ Teaching
Lazarus’ Death and Resurrection
DISCUSS
Why is it important no matter what is going on in our life we continue to have faith in Christ?
What does it mean for us that Jesus says “those who believe in me shall never die”? How is it comforting to know that because of Christ we have hope through all things, even death?
Who else in the Bible died and resurrected? How was this story foreshadowing Christ and how does it teach us what happens to believers when they die?
This story tells us that Jesus wept. What does this teach us about Jesus’ care for His sheep and His empathy towards us?
What does Lazarus’ death and resurrection teach us about Christ’s power? And how does it give us a glimpse into what happens with us and our resurrection one day as well?
PRAY
Pray each person in your family continues in their Faith no matter the circumstances they face.
Pray for someone in your circle of influence that is an unbeliever or not connected to a church.
