Children need to be guided in how they can participate. Please give assistance to your child in using the children's bulletin during the service. If there is a listening sheet provided, help your child to use this to participate in the service. Your child may find it helpful in guiding their thinking and participation. In addition, you may choose to provide paper for your child so that they may draw pictures of things mentioned in the service or elements of the environment which relate to worship.
Older children can take notes or list words which they hear often.
Involve your child in the music experience. You can help them to locate the hymns and indicate with your finger which line of the hymn is being sung. We read hymns differently from books, and that is often confusing to children. Share the hymnbook with your child as you sing. Help your child to know how he or she can best join in prayer.
