When father, mother and children go to church together they are sharing a beautiful ex perience. When they sing the songs of the gospel, read the Scripture, listen to the sermon, unite in prayer, they are adding to the joy of being together. When they open their hearts to God and pledge allegiance to' Him, family life is strengthened. The “togetherness” reaches out to include fellowship with others. Young people who grow up in the Church, who have a truly Christian home, are blessed with a tremendous advantage. They have learned to work and live with other people for the glory of God and the advancement of His cause. There is strength in the very thought of uniting in work and worship. Together—what a difference it makes! Does your family go to Church together? THE CHUHCtf PO# ASA . . .
