Start the worship session with praise choruses. Singing attracts children to come in quickly from the games in case they might be missing something. The children come in from an energetic games session, warmed up, tired physically, and glad to sit down and have a rest. We would suggest that you sit them down in two blocks of chairs, an aisle on either side and an aisle down the centre. (The typical church is ideal for this and children get used to coming into a church building. In later years churches will not be remembered just for christenings, weddings and funerals.)
Leaders hand out point cards for: good singing, good behaviour, quietness, and answering questions.
Immediately, the children are in a disciplined situation, are quiet and will be able to assimilate what is to follow. DO NOT hand out point cards while the story is being told as this causes distractions.
 |
Insist on perfect quietness while the
story is being told. The story teller should speak in a
quiet voice, seriously, and with feeling. Have two adults sitting at the front on either side of the church to pick out the quietest and best listener on their side of the church during the story. Announce to the children that they will give: 4 points to the best Have events move quickly through the worship session. |
 |
All of the following can be included in
a children's worship session or story time.
At the end of the second story, there can often be a challenge for commitment in some area, either salvation, consecration, repentance, or in some area of growth. If you are using 2 stories, we usually have the games session in between. Have the children come out for prayer at the front of the church and have some of your leaders designated to pray with them. The rest can move out row by row for the evening meal. |
