Many churches have “children’s packets” to engage younger participants in the corporate worship experience. One thought that came out of a recent workshop discussion involved further tying the children’s worship stories from “children’s church” into corporate worship. How? Add a page to the children’s worship packets. These pages would be blank except for naming the church’s children’s worship center at the top. An example title could be: “Hands on Worship: story reflection page”. The rest could be left blank, with the possible exception of a large blank square or rectangle to fill in. Then, when a child is sitting in corporate worship, he/she could reflect on a past children’s worship story and sketch it out on the page. The storyteller during “children’s church” could talk about the use of these pages as a tool of reflection. Letting parents know their purpose could further help these pages be used for story reflection. This process is further reinforcement of presented stories, is an undated resource page that can be refilled as needed, and is a way to provide another avenue to engage children in the Bible while in corporate worship.
