What is worship and how can we help our kids understand it?

Another quote:

We want to encourage our parents to be purposeful even when sending our children to Children’s Church, to take ownership over the process of graduating your children from Children’s Church. For some children, that may happen earlier; for some, it may happen later. (Every child and circumstance is different.) But families need to have a VISION, an EXCITEMENT and a PROCESS for having their family together in worship.

This process does not begin at church on Sunday mornings.

Children need to learn that worship is more than Sunday. If you don’t learn to worship the rest of your week, the worship on Sunday will not make up for it. Sunday worship is the culmination of worship, not the extent of it. 

Therefore, family worship is crucial for the preparation of your children. It teaches your children the habits and discipline of worship. It teaches your children that worship is all of life.  Family worship does not have to be scary or difficult or overwhelming. It is best to keep it simple. 10-15 minutes may be all you need - either at the end of a meal or before bed. Maybe you have a memory verse or question you are learning together as a family, a hymn you are learning together, a book of the Bible you are reading through (or Children’s Bible or devotional book).

You can use the quarterly family ministry guide for questions, memory verses and/or Bible passages.

If you are using the guide for family worship once a week, you can discuss the story and review the memory verse.

You can also use the guide for various nights of family worship
Day 1:  Read the Bible passage for the week
Day 2:  Review the memory verses
Day 3:  Go over the questions and memory verse
