Family Devotional Guide - 1/19/25

Our Family Devotional Guide (FDG) is designed to help you walk through biblical truth as a family, utilizing A Catechism for Boys and Girls, as published in Truth & Grace Memory Book. For each week’s FDG, we will provide the catechism question & answer as well as the associated Scripture references.
