H worship begins in the home
Our home is more than just a pretty structure, of course it does provide comfort,
but beyond that, it is a place where joy abounds ... it is a place where love is
■ abundant, it is a place of cooperation, and it is a place where the Lord is worshiped. xg;:
J:?;:; From the home.our relationship with God is carried over into the church. It is there
that my family is able to share worshiping the Lord with others. Ours would not
be a full life, if we did not participate in worship at home and church. Attend
