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.
To make the most of this guide, we encourage you to:
Read – Read the catechism question, answer and Scripture references. This will be a help and benefit to kids, teens, and adults!
Memorize – Memorize the question, answer, and a Scripture reference of your choosing. Recite it together regularly as a family this week.
Discuss – Utilize the provided discussion questions. Discuss any that apply to this week’s question and answer.
