Worship and prayer are invaluable in children’s faith formation and the roots of a solid family. Find a church the entire family enjoys and attend weekly. Children go to school everyday, so why not go to Children’s Church once-a-week? If your church needs to improve its ministry to children, rather than complain, become a part of the solution. Volunteer in the classroom or help with administrative tasks.
America is a country founded upon religious freedom and upon the dependence of Divine guidance. The black community has relied upon faith in God to make it through some of the most dehumanizing experiences in human history. That reliance is even more crucial today as so many societal and humanistic influences are struggling to replace the uniting and empowering substance of Christian faith.
