Whether you’re around the dinner table, in the car, or cozied up by the tree, your family still can connect with God in meaningful ways. Make sure to get your magnet from Kids’ Club the weekend of November 30. 

Put the magnet somewhere the whole family can see and scan the QR code when you're about to engage in one of the Christmas activities on the magnet. Then you'll be given a short prayer to help you and your family connect with God and each other.

If you miss a chance to pick up your magnet, find the prayer prompts at [https://www.crossroads.net/kc-prayer-moments]
