Preparing for Worship

One of the best ways to ensure your family has a positive worship experience is proper preparation. Utilize these tips in preparing for worship:

• Decide on Saturday what clothes to wear. Make sure shoes, hair bows, and other clothing items are together.

• Get plenty of rest on Saturday night.

• Ensure that everyone eats a good breakfast.

• Enjoy travel time to church. Discuss what will take place during worship.

• Provide each family member with his own Bible to use during worship.

• Get up early on Sunday morning to avoid feeling rushed.

• Maintain a positive attitude.

• View Sunday worship as a special family event.

• Provide opportunities for your child to get to know the church staff members and their responsibilities.

• firsthand experiences. Provide your child time to use his senses in learning. By seeing, hearing, smelling, and touching, your child feels accepted in the worship of the church.

• Curiosity. Allow your child to ask questions and provide the freedom to explore things he does not understand. Answer his questions honestly and on his level of understanding.

• Repetition. Repetition builds security for your child. When he repeats actions, songs, words, and routines in worship, he learns to feel secure in God’s presence and protection.

• Imitation. Allow your child to act like those around him. By watching the actions of others in the worship service, your child learns how to behave in worship.

• Relationships. Relationships provide children opportunities to feel accepted and loved by others in the church.
