Faith Heroes Each week, there will be a new faith action posted here. We hope that this is one way to encourage walking in faith together as a family. May it be a way to be intentional in our relationship with God and to support growing your child's faith right at home. Faith Action   S'more fun! Gather all ingredients and make some s'mores, whether that is around a campfire or in the kitchen. As you eat, ask: “When has God done ‘some more’ for you? Why do you think God wants us to do ‘some more’ for others?”
