It's a new year, so let's IMAGINE....

The steps of the FAITH 5 are:

• SHARE highs and lows of your day
• READ a verse from the Bible
• TALK about how that verse might relate to the highs and lows of your day
• PRAY for one another's highs and lows, for your family, and for the world
• BLESS one another by tracing the sign of the cross on one another's forehead or palm as a reminder that you belong to God and one another

Sharing, reading, talking, praying and blessing. Five things, five nights a week, over and over until it becomes "that thing our family always does." What might happen as family members share their highs and lows? What might change as they really listen to one another's highs and lows? What might parents experience as they hear the prayers of their children for them (and vice versa)? Would it be a good practice to regularly talk about how the Bible relates to our everyday lives?

Consider starting the FAITH 5 in your church by identifying five families willing to commit to trying it for five weeks (catching the theme here?) and then, in worship, have these families share what differences it made for them. Look for ways to incorporate the FAITH 5 into LOGOS at your church -- perhaps in Bible study or with table families. I would love to hear about your experiences! Please share them with me -- via Facebook, email or on our website.
