Children in Worship

CHILDREN IN WORSHIP

   One of the main goals in life is to help our children and other young people to become Christians who are faithful to God’s word and active in His kingdom, the church. We want to “bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord” (Eph. 6:4). We want them to know the joy of knowing, serving, and worshipping the Lord. Our children should be taught why we worship, how we worship, and how to make our worship most effective. Parents, grandparents, and friends will be the most important influences on our young people in worship. Here are a few ideas that will help us train our children to be good worshippers.

 
SET A GOOD EXAMPLE: Children need to see your worship and the joy it brings to your life. You need to come to worship services regularly with an attitude of joy and anticipation – not a sense of drudgery or obligation. You need to sing, bow in prayer, listen intently to the sermon, give joyfully, and partake in the Lord’s Supper meditatively. Children will follow your example, so set the right kind.
 
PREPARE THE CHILD: Before Sunday, talk to your child about how to act in the assembly. Tell the child why we pray, sing, give, partake of the Lord’s Supper weekly, and listen to a sermon. As you would in preparing him for school, make sure the child gets enough rest the night before to be awake and alert on Sunday.
 
INVOLVE THE CHILD: When singing, help him locate the page of the song. With your finger on his book, point to the words we sing. Encourage your child to sing even though he may not know the right words. When the sermon is delivered, help the child locate the Scriptures cited and/or encourage him to write them down. This impresses on the child the importance of paying attention. It also stresses that worship is active and not passive.
