Family Resources: New LCC Material and Expanded Resource Pages

CANADA – Lutheran Church–Canada (LCC) has expanded its Family Resource pages, adding dozens of new resources and several new categories to support faith formation in the home and beyond.

As families enter a new year, these resources offer timely encouragement for establishing and renewing faithful habits at home—especially regular prayer, Scripture reading, and establishing a devotional practice as a household.

Among the additions is a new LCC resource entitled A Brief Guide to Home Devotions: Using the Lutheran Service Book. This one-page guide introduces families and individuals to the rich devotional material found in the Lutheran Service Book (LSB) and offers practical help for incorporating the hymnal into daily prayer.

The guide highlights the hymnal as a treasured resource for home devotions, noting that it includes brief services that can be used for individuals and families, Psalms, Scripture reading plans, prayers, Luther’s Small Catechism, and hymns. It also encourages families to set aside a regular time for daily devotions and suggests speaking with a local pastor about borrowing a hymnal if one is not available at home.

To assist users in navigating the Lutheran Service Book, the guide points to key sections especially helpful for daily devotional use.

Following the release of two print-at-home Advent Devotional Calendars designed with families in mind, these new materials reflect LCC’s ongoing commitment to equipping households for faithful living and prayer centred on God’s Word.

We pray that these resources will be a blessing to the many young families across our synod and will support regular devotion and prayer in homes throughout Lutheran Church–Canada.
