Children and Worship

Working with the Children and Worship Materials

Children and Worship is a program designed especially for young children to experience the mystery and love of God through a unique story-telling format and multi-sensory materials.

The teacher quietly tells the story as she places wooden figures representing the characters in the story on the story mat. Children are invited into the story as the teacher asks ‘wondering questions’ such as, “I wonder how God was with the people in our story. I wonder how God is with you?” The materials are kept in the classroom for children to work with on their own throughout the week.

As children enter Lower Elementary, Children and Worship includes time for them to reflect individually through drawing and journaling.
