Children of all ages are invited to attend our worship services in the Sanctuary with family and friends. Sunday services include a special children's time.
Making worship a positive experience for children:
Worship is a family experience. Here are a few ideas to make your experience a positive one.
- Relax! God put the wiggle in children. Don't feel you have to suppress it in God's house.
- Sit toward the front where it is easier to see and hear what's going on.
- Use a gentle touch: an arm around your child's shoulder, your hand in his/hers to give reassurance and appropriate redirection.
- Quietly explain the service.
- Help your child find the pages in the Hymnal. Do not become distressed if your child is unable to find the proper page.
- Sing the hymns, pray, and voice the responses. Children learn liturgical behavior by copying yours.
- If your child needs to leave the service, feel free to do so - please come back!
- Encourage your child to come forward during Children's Time using their "walking feet and listening ears" so that all may enjoy this special time.
- Remember! Jesus invited children, with their wiggles and giggles, to come to Him.. He invites them still.
