It seems fitting to recap how we ended up doing regular structured worship together as a family. When we were first married my wife and I would read from the Psalms together each evening. We did this together for pretty much the whole of our first year of marriage until our first child was born. After that, once he became old enough, we started reading to him from the Psalms each night as we put him to bed. We continued this trend after our second child was born and eventually branched out and read through Proverbs, Acts, and the gospel of John. With the children getting a bit older it became evident that more structure was necessary. I also remember especially wanting to teach them specifically how to sit through church. Having also been exposed to some pretty good teaching having to do with family worship I happened to be introduced to some great resources to help facilitate the process and morph it into what it is today..
I wish I could say that we have been perfectly consistent throughout this entire time, but nonetheless God has truly been at work to bring this to fruition and we want nothing more than to please him as a family, together as parents, and myself personally as a father. Although we've been doing this for many months now, with a family so young we are truly only just beginning and look forward to the months and years to come.
Soli Deo Gloria
