What Did You Say? Family Plus PS

Hi Parents and Grandparents!

Can preschoolers really worship? My answer is always yes. I have always thought so. It is the reason why we started Wee Worship. Wee Worship is every Sunday at 10:45 in our Wee Back Yard and is designed for ages 3 - Kindergarten. It allows preschoolers to worship like preschoolers. It brings Bible stories to life and brings the day’s Bible truth home in ways preschoolers will understand. We sing songs that have motions to lift hearts and hands to God.

Jesus said, “Let the children come to me and don’t hinder them!”(Matt 19:14), and “Unless you receive the Kingdom like a child, you’ll never enter it,” (Luke 18:16).

I did a little research on the question, Can preschoolers really worship?
Jenna Kuykendall says
            "We have so much to learn from these cute and tiny theologians, and Jesus was
             completely aware of that. Yes, preschoolers can worship, and we need to allow
             them to be who they are! They’re wiggly and squirmy, and have no filter!
             Preschoolers are also sponges whose brains need repetition, and that’s why we
             repeat the bottom line and memory verse over and over and over again!
         
             So, with a resounding and loud YES, I believe that preschoolers CAN and  
             with a resounding and loud YES, I believe that preschoolers CAN and  
             WILL worship as we allow them to be who they are, and model for them what it
             means to worship Jesus with our lives. As we introduce and encourage it along
             the way, it’ll be a natural part of their lives. We are providing an environment
             and atmosphere where children can come boldly, wildly, passionately, just as
             they are, and childishly to the throne of God, and that’s exactly how He
             designed it to be! Teaching them to worship at such a young age will set the
             stage for a life-long journey of faith—a journey that, as leaders, we’ll have a
             front-row seat to! As they continue on this journey, they’ll learn that worship is
             not about them, but rather a chance to focus on a holy God, despite their
             circumstances or feelings.”

I am looking forward to worshiping with your little one this Sunday in the Wee Back Yard at Wee Worship. You don’t want them to miss the worship service that is designed just for them.

This Sunday, January 18, 2015, your preschooler will learn that:
Jesus heals a deaf man’s ears so he can hear. Mark 7:32-37

MEMORY VERSE - You are everything I need. Psalm 119:57, NIrV
BASIC TRUTH -  Jesus wants to be my friend forever.
KEY QUESTION -  Who do you need?  
BOTTOM LINE -  I need Jesus!  

Thank you for allowing us to partner with you in guiding your child spiritually.
