We are excited to incorporate the Jesus Storybook Bible into Children's Worship!
Children's Worship at Christ Community Church is geared for children 4-8 years old, and the Jesus Storybook Bible is a wonderful addition to our current format. You may wonder what exactly your children are engaging in while you hear the sermon each week? Here is the breakdown:- Children are greeted by name in the hallway at about 10:55AM
- Worship begins with the children standing, singing and signing to "The Greatest Commandment" by Seeds Family Worship, from the CD Seeds of Purpose. (See link below and listen to song #4.)
- Children sit down to sing and sign "Be Still and Know" from Psalm 46:10.
- Following the church calendar, children are taken through key accounts from the Old and New Testament, one story per week. (Currently, children have learned about Jesus' baptism and will be regaled with his calling the twelve disciples and his miracles in the coming weeks).
- An adult teacher helps the children understand and talk about the story.
- An adult prays for the children, and then a snack is enjoyed - water and gluten-free cheese puffs!
- The remaining time is free for kids to engage with the Bible story in the way they choose: Coloring pages, completing a Bible puzzle, or acting out the story with special, Biblical wooden figures perfect for a child's small hands.
- Parent Pick-up immediately following the service.
The resources we are using can be found on the links below or search on Amazon to hear every single song they've produced and consider buying a CD for your family! They are high-quality CDs and every song is Scripture set to good music that won't drive parents crazy. This is an awesome, easy way to get the Word into your heart, for good!
