May is the UMC Month of the Christian Home. The theme for 2022 is Families Called to Peace. As parents, this is a month to focus on discipling your children and youth. Show your children how to spend time with their heavenly Father every day. As a family, start a practice of reading a devotional together every day. Family Devotional Resources can be found at www.umcdiscipleship.org by searching “2022 Christian Home.”
