Week of October 2, 2011

1. Read Exodus 20:1-4, 7-9, 12-20.
2. Did you have an honorable mother and father? What was the thing you most admire about them?
3. Why do you think the commandment "honor your father and mother" made God's list? Why is this important?
4. Father Mike talked about how God included this in the list because He knew it was complicated. How might honoring your father and mother be complicated for you? What makes it difficult?
5. He also said that parents need our help. If they are still alive, how do your parents need your help, or do they? How could you extend this help? Support and encourage each other in the group about your attempts to do this.
6. If you are a parent, is it hard for you to receive honor from your children? How do they support you in ways that are uncomfortable or even unwanted by you? How can you help them give you what you need?
7. How can St. Andrew's be a place that honors and helps people as they age?
8. Share with the group what might have been especially important for you during this discussion.
9. Pray for one another....
