All Saints encourages our members and visitors to spend time each day in God's Word. To assist in this, we provide the worship guide below for individuals or families. It provides a brief prompt Monday through Wednesday to consider the passage that was preached the previous Sunday and then on Thursday and Friday to begin reading the passage for the coming Sunday. We hope this will make our time together in worship each week that much more impactful.

- Family Worship Bible Guide edited by Joel Beeke
This is a very simple book that offers a paragraph or two of explanation and devotion on every chapter of the Bible. It’s very easy to simply read the entry from this book before or after reading the text in our guide. It’s not a book about family worship, but one to help you during family worship.
- A Neglected Grace: Family Worship in the Christian Home by Jason Helopoulos
This is the primary book we are recommending for an introduction to family worship—what it is, why we do it, and how to do it well. It includes encouragements from people in all stages of life!
- Family Worship by Joel Beeke
An excellent and brief little book that looks at the biblical basis for family worship, how to do it, motivations to do it, and answers to the objections against it.
- One Year of Dinner Table Discussions and Discussion Starters by Nancy Guthrie
An excellent resource for helping you start spiritual discussions with your family.
