The question came as they were talking about each other about prayer before bedtime. Our prayers in worship are too often stilted and filled with big words to conceal our smallness of thought. Prayer should be a vital part of all of our worship experiences. When it comes to special-emphasis worship experiences, there are few more spiritually and biblically effective than Children's Day.
Children are enthusiastic about the opportunity to lead in worship.
Parents and grandparents are energized because their children are participating in the service, and the leaders of the children in your church are in a position to recognized and appreciated. After a particularly nice worship service, the person who chaired the worship committee was complimented by one of the church members. More than one person got slammed by this offhand comment. And the worship experience of another was put down. Yet another example of a director forgetting to keep it worship.
