Have you been looking for
ways to incorporate your kids into the grownup worship
service? There are several different ways to do this.
One of the easiest ways is to ask the church leadership
if there is an area in the sanctuary that can be
designated as the kids worship area. If there is have
the kids meet you there every time they are in “big”
church. Another
way to get kids actively involved in worship is to teach
them songs that are sung in “big” church with motions
they can remember. Encourage the kids to use these
motions anytime they hear the song and let them know
that you will be doing it also. If you use praise
banners, hankies or instruments during the worship time
with your groups during the week ask for permission to
use them during the grown up service. Another good idea
is to ask people who are worshippers to join the group.
This will not only give the kids an other example of
worship but will help you with crowd control.
The most important
thing to remember is that kids will follow your example.
If you want them to worship then you are going to have
to worship. As their leader they will watch you during
services and you may not even realize it. If you are
willing to worship with all of your heart no matter what
it looks like to others then your kids will develop that
same desire.
