The days between Yom Teruah and Yom Kippur provide a meaningful opportunity for families to slow down, listen to God, and prepare their hearts together.
Yom Teruah is associated with the sound of trumpets—a call to awaken and pay attention. Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, reminds us of our need for forgiveness and points us toward the perfect sacrifice of Jesus.
Ten Days of Returning to God is a simplified children’s devotional designed to help families explore these truths together. Each day includes a short Bible reading, a child-friendly lesson, a discussion question, a simple activity, and a prayer.
Throughout the ten days, children will learn what it means to:
- Listen for God’s direction
- Ask God to search their hearts
- Turn away from wrong choices
- Confess their sins honestly
- Apologize and make things right
- Forgive others
- Show God’s love through kindness
- Draw near to God through Jesus
- Trust in Christ’s sacrifice
- Begin again with God
