Here Come the Kids!: Creating a Welcoming Community with Children’s Sermons - 7104

Here they come, your church’s children—from those who are young enough, still, to hold a hand and some who are almost ready to fly on their own. Your children are heading to the front of the sanctuary or watching a service snuggled at home. They bring their (so far, short) individual lifetimes of experience, and they look to you to welcome and learn with them. Here Come the Kids! Creating a Welcoming Community with Children’s Sermons is designed to help you do just that. It has guidance for planning and delivering meaningful, interactive experiences for children (and the congregation, too). Included you'll find: Twenty-three children’s sermons that you can use as they are or modify as you wish An easy-to-use planning model for creating your own engaging children’s sermons Advice for those inevitable times when you find yourself creating a children’s sermon at the very last-minute Stories that illustrate the principles behind our examples and advice Tips for avoiding common pitfalls that cause glazed expressions or hurt feelings Considerations for streaming your children’s sermons online Resources for creating a covenant of belonging and care You’ll find here the contributions of child development experts, child therapists, educators, people in the pews, clergy, and, especially, children. You’ll learn a method for including the children in the life of the congregation—not as commercials or entertainment, but as ministering people. Plus, the authors chose to offer the paperback without profit, knowing that most church folks don't have a big budget. Hope you'll try this.
