Who's behind this resource?
Hello! I'm Lucy, a parent, teacher, author and Christian parenting blogger. I've been writing devotionals for children and teens since 2022, writing books since 2019 and encouraging parents through my blog since 2012.
I live in York, England, with my vicar husband Al and our four kids aged 10-15. All my resources are created out of lived experience parenting a busy family. We long to help our kids meet with Jesus in every season - which is how this devotional came to be. Starting school is a huge milestone for a child - but doing it with Jesus makes it an exciting, big adventure!
I hope this resources serves your family well.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What happens when I check out?
You'll receive an email receipt and access instructions. Look out for these emails. If they're not in your inbox, check your spam or promotions folders. Can't see them? Get in touch: lucy@lucyrycroft.com
Will anything be shipped to me?
No, this is an entirely digital product. That means no waiting for the postie to come!
I don't have a printer! Does this matter?
Your child can still do the devotional, but will need a touchscreen device and digital pen to access the fun daily activities.
Is there someone you know whose printer you could borrow? Perhaps a grandparent or friend? Could you use the printer at work or at church?
How do I access this devotional?
Once you've checked out, you'll receive an email with access instructions. Following these instructions will take you to the resource dashboard, from which you can easily download or print it - but any problems, just give me a shout: lucy@lucyrycroft.com
How much time is this Devo going to take?
I reckon around 5 minutes a day (but more if your kid wants to connect with God for longer!).
My kid doesn't usually read the Bible - will they cope with this?
Absolutely! Each day's Bible reading is really short, and so is the commentary that comes with it. It doesn't assume a prior knowledge of the Bible, but will also engage children who know the Bible well from Sunday school and any previous discipleship input in the home.
Can I make multiple copies for my church kids group?
The price has been set deliberately low to ensure easy accessibility and affordability for regular families. If people start to print these resources in huge quantities then, as their creator, I lose out financially. I'm not trying to make millions, but this is my livelihood.
By all means use this for as many children as you have in your home. If you have younger children, you are welcome to print this out again for when they start school - that is the beauty of a digital resource!
But if you'd like to make copies for people outside your home - e.g. for a church children's group or a bunch of friends' kids, then please email me at lucy@lucyrycroft.com as I'd love to bless you with a good deal. I'll always try and work with you to come up with something fair :)
What if I'm not happy with this resource?
As this is a digital product, it's impossible to 'return' in the same way as a physical product. However, do email me any feedback on lucy@lucyrycroft.com, as I'm always keen to hear how I can improve my resources.
