Another Kids Almost in Church Sunday!

Much of this post is from a previous post about Kids Almost in Church

Tomorrow is a Kids Almost in Church Sunday.  This is our second one of these Sundays for the 1st through 3rd graders.

What does almost in church mean?
Every Sunday children gather with the Church, the body of believers even if they are not in the auditorium.


But this Sunday is a training time for the kids.
We will be watching the sermon in the back.  I will help the kids learn how to listen and take notes during Pastor Duke's sermon.

You and your family are more than welcome to come back to the children's chapel and watch the sermon with us. 
OR you can have your child sit with you during the service in the auditorium.
Actually, I would strongly encourage you to either 
come back and watch the sermon with your child and the rest of us
OR have your child sit with you in the auditorium.

This will be helpful for your child in his/her active participation in the sermon and for you parenting and discipling. 
We will go over some very practical ways for your child to be actively involved in the sermons.
We will talk about some of the specific points from this upcoming Sunday's message.

1. A major part of our EKIDZ ministry is helping children understand their role in our church.  We don't want to entertain and babysit children until they are a certain age.  We want remind children that if they have been saved by grace they are part of the His church.
2. This Sunday is a great time to begin training them and continue training the others on how to be appropriately and actively involved in a Sunday service.

As usual we will be in the service during the music and announcements.

Know that it is our goal to help you disciple your child or children. 
That is why we do the things we do.
