IT'S SESSION TIME!

So, what does our Kids Church Service look like? It's a lot of fast stuff, with no gaps where kids can get bored and misbehave.

You will know more details when I go over the programs with you during orientation.

Basically, here's the run down:

  1. Pre-session activities while kids come in
  2. Small group activity to introduce theme
  3. Intro video--countdown and music video (to get the party started)
  4. Praise Songs
  5. Rules
  6. Game
  7. Lesson Intro
  8. Video break
  9. Character Lesson
  10. Object Lesson
  11. Prayer and Worship
  12. Life Application/Small Groups
  13. Regroup time (back together)
  14. Extreme Fun Activity
  15. Closing Activity
  16. Annoucements/Promos
  17. Post-session & Parent pick up
Our focus: We want kids to become best friends with Jesus, so they can tell their story to their friends and be witnessess of God's love! That's what rocks. That is why we do this, not for the music, fancy music, decorations, or videos.

So, when you talk to kids, have meaningful conversations with them--connect them to the STARLIGHT (SERVANT LEADERSHIP) theme. Get to know them-what they like, if they have pets, brothers, sisters. What is their favorite movie, all that stuff! Let's go beyond the kiddie surface---kids have a ton of substance, believe---that is WHY I LOVE CHILDREN'S MINISTRY! WELCOME TO THE CLUB!
