Saturday Night Helps!

With 1st through 5th graders, you should talk about communion before the service.
I mentioned this in yesterday's POST.

Here are some reminders for every Satuday as you prepare for Sunday from R. Kent Hughes in Disciplines of Godly Man

Sometimes by the time we get to church, worship is an impossiblity....  The answer to the problem begins with Saturday preparation.  (Any men who interpret the following as women's work are wrong.  Both husband and wife should share responsibility for the practical and spiritual preparations for the Lord's Day.)  It is advisable that young families have their clothing clean and laid out on Saturday night, and even that the breakfast be decided upon.  The whereabout of Bible and lessons should be known, and even better, ought to be collected and ready.  There should be an agreed upon time to get up which leaves plenty of time to get ready for church.  Going to bed at reasonable hour is also a good idea.  Spiritually, prayer about the Lord's Day is essential - prayer for the service, the music, the pastors, one's family and oneself.
