Faith Legacy Series is a training curriculum to help families grow spiritually in their homes. Parents meet for three 60-90 minute sessions with other parents of same-age children. When the course is completed, parents speak a personalized blessing over their child while giving the child a blessing object. This blessing event can take place in a worship service so the whole church can better support parents helping their children know, love and follow Jesus.
