Christian formation and education Wondering if there's something more you can do at home and in Sunday school besides table grace, evening prayers, and moral instruction?

This is exactly how those stories help adults. Think of the many aspects of the Good Shepherd parables found in our relationship with God... My Web site for parents, Faith at Home!
