rain a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it. ...
Proverbs 22:6
Each Sunday we hold Kids Worship during our worship Service, which is held from 10:00 to 11:30.
The Children are prayed over and dismissed after the praise and worship time and spend approximately 45
minutes participating in a variety of activities focused on teaching them more about the Bible, at
their
level. The activities include things like lessons, games, snacks, videos, crafts, songs and puppets.
We use KidsOwn Worship material from Group publishing, which is the same company that provides our Faithweaver class material. Group publishing has designed their lessons in a way that allows you to weave together Faithweaver and KidsOwn Worship to further the Christian growth of our children. Children ages 2 ½ to 11 participate in Kids Worship on the first three Sundays of each month and on the fourth Sunday we have family Sunday, where only Children ages 2 ½ to 5 go to Kids Worship and the other Children remain in the sanctuary with their parents. We feel this gives the older children an opportunity to experience adult worship and to understand how they are expected to behave in Church. During family Sunday the older children participate in the service as ushers. When the adult worship service is about to conclude, the children are dismissed into the sanctuary to be with their parents, before the worship service has concluded. While our main objective is to teach children, a secondary goal and one that we feel is extremely important is to provide a safe and fun environment for the children so their parents can feel comfortable to give their full attention to the Pastor’s message. With this in
mind, we strive to make this 45 minutes a fun time that our Children look forward to each Sunday.
