Finally, it is important for children to have opportunities to serve other people in the church, the community and the world. Children have a lot to add to the work of the church if we will let them. We are encouraged to have faith like a child. They understand so much more than we want to allow them to comprehend. In worship, children can participate in children's choir or hand out bulletins.
Older children can learn how to usher and some can read scripture.
Younger children have an incredible ministry in their drawings and artwork. If they are given a simple idea, they can quickly create a picture real to that concept. Outside of worship, the possibilities are endless. Since we have so many tasks in Christian education, it is ideal to look specifically at the people, purpose, process, and content of that education. All people are involved with children in the church.
