Children Worship and Learning Children in Worship and Learning Inviting children to participate is the most powerful way to teach them. Children are important members of our ELCA congregations. We receive you as fellow members of the body of Christ, children of the same heavenly Father, and workers with us in the kingdom of God. Worship is an important part of what the Body of Christ does.
Children learn especially by example and by trying things out.
Inviting children to participate is the most powerful way to teach them. Guiding children in worship passes on to them a heritage of language and image and gesture by which they can then form their own approach to God. It is a gift they will be able to draw upon throughout the course of their lives. It is a gift which includes the clear message that they are absolutely integral to the community of faith. Gods gathered people hear and interpret stories from the Bible.
