Joshua 4:1-9, 19-24 “The Practice of Remembering”

- Opening: Share some of the things you practice: what have you practiced the longest? What thing have you started practicing most recently?
- Browse through the Faith Practices booklet (distributed at church) or the related website https://www.crcna.org/FaithPracticesProject. What catches your attention? What do you think or feel about exploring faith practices this spring?
