7 Realities of Your Family Experiencing God

1. God is always at work around your family.
2. God pursues a continuing love relationship with your family that is real and personal.
3. God invites your family to become involved with Him in His work.
4. God speaks to your family by the Holy Spirit through the Bible, prayer, circumstances, and the church to reveal Himself, His purposes, and His ways.
5. God’s invitation for your family to work with Him always leads to a crisis of belief that requires faith and action.
6. You must make major adjustments in your family life to join God in what He is doing.
7. Your family comes to know God by experience as they obey Him and He accomplishes His work through them.

Families can do repairs to the buildings of a helping organization like the Women’s Pregnancy Center.
Families can feed the homeless Saturday mornings at 7:30 a.m. with the “Frenchtown Breakfast in the Park” organization.
