Gathering for a meal or preparing for bed offer natural opportunities for prayer. Bedtime stories or a family devotional provide times to hear and talk about the Bible and its importance in our lives as people of God. Out of respect for God and one another, we ask that boys please refrain from wearing caps and hats during the service. Remember the promise we make at the baptism of the children among us. Greet children as well as adults, and be as intentional about knowing children's names as you are about adults.
Hand children the offering plate rather than passing it over their heads.
See that children have a bulletin of their own. When children give visible leadership, respond to them as worship leaders not as performers. Always laugh with children, not at them. Occasionally invite a child you know to sit with you during worship. Understand when parents need to take younger ones out and then return during worship.
