Who Are You?
During this class, we talked one week specifically about the worship value of ACCESSIBILITY. I really enjoy writing liturgical readings/prayers, and thought I'd challenge myself by writing one that is accessible to children. We have an amazing Kids Church program here, but I know there is always room for resources to be shared.
This one isn't super complicated. All the kids can say all the portions together, or they can alternate between singles or groups.
I focused on utilizing the subjects of some traditional memory verses so the kids might better recognize where some of the lines come from and get excited that they understand the ideas behind them.
I thought about finding a synonym for some of the 'bigger' words (like ashamed), but I love the discussions that can come with teaching kids those concepts.
