Q. How do you have meaningful family devotions that memorably cover the scope of Christian belief?

A. Traditionally, by using a catechism!

One of the church’s most acclaimed and best beloved catechisms is the Heidelberg Catechism. Now teaching its comforts to children has never been easier.

This book of daily readings:

provides a year—or more—of family devotions
aids study by devoting six to twelve days to the questions of each Lord’s Day section
explains the catechism in simple language
provides six to twelve meditations on the main points of each section
takes just a few minutes each day, allowing time for discussion and review
is useful in the home, church, or classroom

Catechizing Children

Posted by Julia Marlowe on 14th Jul 2023

We're almost finished teaching our kids at church the Westminster Shorter Catechism, using "From the Lips of Little Ones," and I was afraid I would never find a similarly appropriate book for the Heidelberg, which we will begin soon. I was thrilled to find Starr Meade's book "Comforting Hearts Teaching Minds," which perfectly fills our need! We present the question, answer, and Bible reference on Sunday morning, then parents are responsible for building on that with their kids through the following week. We love this practice, and our kids are being equipped to live in this world! Soli Deo Gloria!
