You might recall me blogging about an idea to write devotions for our mid-week program. I had been searching for the perfect curriculum which also included family devotions. I had found one or the other, but not both in one curriculum. So, I started to wonder what to do. Then as I was praying God gave me the nudge. Write your own.

This is a time of worship through song and prayers connected together. The way I have planned them over the last few years include several songs to start the evening...
