This means everyone is welcome at church. This means we pay attention to those around us, welcome those who are new, help those who are lonely or hurting, and deal with our anger and disappointments in honest, caring ways. It means we use don't use hurtful words or hit or throw things at one another. It means we take turns, share our snacks, leave something for the next person. It means we speak out and get help when we see someone being treated unfairly.
Church is a place for fun and friendship, for learning and service.
This means we need to listen to our teachers and one another, to participate in group activities to the best of our abilities, to help someone who is new or struggling, to share what we are thinking or feeling. It means we challenge one another to do our best and apologize when we fail to treat others the way we would like to be treated. It means we listen to adults, follow their instructions, and seek them out for help when we are troubled or need assistance. This means everyone is encouraged to share their own thoughts and feelings without fear of being laughed at or criticized. It means activities will be planned at church that are varied, that appeal to different people for different reasons.
