Director of Children, Youth, and Family Ministries - Lisle, United States - Trinity Early Childhood Center

Description

In Deuteronomy 11:18-21 the Lord commands His people to, "Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.

Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates, so that your days and the days of your children may be many in the land the Lord swore to give your ancestors, as many as the days that the heavens are above the earth." Over and over again, the Bible makes clear that the calling to make disciples is not only a lifetime calling, but a family calling.

That is why we, as a church, believe we are called to help people of all ages look, live and love more like Jesus.
