The Bible is a gift from God filled with stories about God’s people, beautiful poems and songs, advice on how to live a Christ-centered life, and so much more. It’s a “Toolbox” for following Jesus! Dig in to God’s word and find a treasure chest of tools to help you grow in faith.

Read: Acts 8:30-31: So Philip ran up to it and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah. He asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?” He replied, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” And he invited Philip to get in and sit beside him.
Reflect: In this story from Acts Philip helps a stranger to understand the bible’s message of God’s love. Who has helped you to understand the bible?
Pray: “Dear God, thank you for the bible (our toolbox for faith) and for the people who have helped us to read, understand, and apply it to our lives. Amen.”
Bless: Trace a cross on each other’s shoulder, hand, or head and say “[Name], you are a beloved child of God.”
