CHILDREN’S MINISTRY CHILDREN, YOUTH AND FAMILY Do you remember learning to use a spoon? How about learning to get dressed? Or to brush your teeth? Life skills do not come naturally—they need to be taught by our parents or caregivers. The same is true for worship: children need to learn how to worship. They need to know what it means to sit with their church family and sing and pray and share the faith together. But somemes learning can be a challenging and frustrang process. Learning to eat means food is dropped. Learning to brush your teeth can mean a nose full of toothpaste. We make mistakes as we learn. So why is it that we expect our children—those wiggly lile people—to sit quietly and do everything correctly in worship? Worship is a learning experience for ALL of us, and somemes it’s hard. Families and children are always welcome at worship, and we are striving this year to make it even easier for lile ones to feel involved. Worship is a vital life skill. Don’t let the learning curve keep you and your children from experiencing the fullness of a life of faith. Kari Osmek Interim Director of Children, Youth & Family Ministry Registration is Now Open for 2017-18! Your child will receive a quality learning experience with an emphasis on academics, social development, creavity, and spiritual growth by a loving staff in a small classroom seng.
