Faith Formation Family Tip
Kids Corner: Orange Shirt Day and Micah 6:8 - Check out this week’s kids’ devotion at www.kidscorner.net. Throughout the Bible, God is clear that justice—or making things right again—is very important to him. In our world, many things are difficult and broken by sin. But God tells us that he is at work restoring justice, and he invites each of us to help him make things right wherever and whenever we can. One way we can make things right is by knowing the sad stories of the past and by doing better today. Check out all the great content at kidscorner.net like the KC’s Liz and Friends Podcast “Blizzd The Peacemaker.”
