Family Worship

Family Worship

From July 4 to August 29, elementary school students and their parents will have the privilege of worshiping together as the body of Christ in Family Worship. Many families already worship regularly with their children and have discovered the blessings of coming before God with our precious little ones to share with them and model for them the most important activity of our week: worshiping God!

Children often do best in new situations when they are prepared for what to expect. We encourage parents to show their excitement to their children about what it can mean for families to come together in worship during this season, and hopefully throughout our lives.

To help children understand and enter into worship, there will be children's worship bulletins, with cues and activities to guide children through the service and help them explore the sermon topic and scripture for the week. Children who process better while drawing may borrow materials from the art cart located in the Narthex. Look also for children leading the congregation in worship all summer!

We hope that families will prepare to enter this season intentionally, and reap the rich rewards that entering into worship with children will bring.
