In the book of Deuteronomy is a favorite verse which is

Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as reminders on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Teach them to your children, speaking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Write them on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates,  so that as long as the heavens are above the earth, your days and those of your children may be multiplied in the land that the LORD swore to give your fathers.

Deuteronomy 11:18-21

This is a beautiful word and encouragement to keep God’s word in our hearts and minds and mouth at all times and more importantly to teach and fill our children with Christ through the Church. The greatest gift you can give your child is Faith, and teach them to walk in the ways of the Lord, to be guided by Him and keep fast their Orthodox Faith. This can a challenge because the world fills us with everything but God’s Word – with a heavy emphasis on marketing our children away from their Faith.

Over the years I have taught Sunday School, led Orthodox Youth Choirs and Homeschool-ed all of my children – up until high school. During that time I have accumulated many resources and so this page is a place to share resources and encourage one another.

What is offered here is what has worked for our family and in my Sunday School classes over the years. It is not perfect, but is free of charge and a labor of love.

All of the resources will be housed under the tab “Lay Up These Words in Your Heart”
