It is an ancient Christian tradition for families to gather to ask for God’s blessing on their home and all who visit or live there. Chalk is used to write a traditional symbol on the door frame, doorstep or close to the door of the house, along with prayers asking Jesus to visit and be present in that home.

You and your family may like to take part in this tradition. There is a sheet with this newsletter to help you do this as we start our new year together.
