ABIDING
FAITH
In the quiet safety of her own
home she is learning to pray, to trust
in God. As she grows older she will
learn that other people pray too; that
other people have faith.
Sunday School will thrill her from
the very first day, and her faith will
grow as she learns more of the Heav
enly Father’s love. The Church, with
its beautiful sanctuary, its inspiring
music, its worshipful atmosphere, will
pive her a sense of reverence, of near
ness to God.
As she grows, her love for the
Church and for God will grow too.
All through life the faith she learned
when she was a tiny girl will provide
a sanctuary and protect her during
the many trials of life.
Are YOU helping YOUR child ac
quire this abiding faith?
