Proverbs 22:6

“

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 28:19

“

The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you.

Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him.

Psalm 127:3

A story of faith

Raising Children in Faith

Hannah & Little Samuel

Hannah longed for a child for many years and prayed with all her heart. When God gave her a son, she named him Samuel, meaning “God has heard.” She did not keep him for herself; she lovingly dedicated him to the Lord. Each year she sewed him a little robe and brought it to him at the temple.

Little Samuel grew up listening for God’s voice and became one of Israel’s greatest prophets. Like Hannah, we thank God for our child and place him gently into His hands.

1 Samuel 1–3

Jesus Blesses the Children

Parents once brought their little ones to Jesus so He could touch and bless them. The disciples tried to send them away, thinking Jesus was too busy. But Jesus called the children to Him, took them in His arms, laid His hands on them and blessed them.

He reminded everyone that the kingdom of God belongs to those with a childlike heart. Today, every child is welcome in His arms, and we bring Noah to Him with the same joy.

Mark 10:13-16

Our Promise to Noah

1

Pray Together

Begin and end each day with a little prayer, so he grows up knowing he can talk to God anytime.

2

Read His Word

Share Bible stories at bedtime and let the words of Scripture shape his heart.

3

Worship as a Family

Go to church together every week, so faith becomes a joyful part of everyday life.

4

Live What We Teach

Show kindness, forgiveness and gratitude at home, because children learn most from what they see.

5

Serve Others
