52 Weekly Devotions for Family Prayer by Karen Whiting

I am delighted for the opportunity to review a copy of Karen Whiting’s recent release, 52 Weekly Devotions for Family Prayer, and am highly impressed with what she has created.

Backyard VBS – The Creation

Here is another alternative VBS idea for parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles, or friends and neighbors to consider  for creating a mini backyard VBS program. Use The Creation to share with children who may have already been playing together safely. Outdoors is the safest place to play when we have to be concerned with the Covid-19 virus.
