3. Children can join for the songs at the end of the service
At the end of the service here are some ideas for you to follow as a family:
A. Ask some simple questions
- What do we learn about God?
- What do we learn about ourselves?
- What do I need to do now I know that about God?
Main Aim: To help the children see that true happiness is found in belonging to the kingdom of heaven.
B. Pray with your children about what you have discussed
Prop prayers:
- Apple – say sorry to God for the wrong things we do all the time. Admit that, as our natural selves, we are rotten as an apple that is rotten to the core and there is nothing we can do to please God.
- Heart – destroy a black felt tip heart on a piece of paper and replace with a red heart. Thank God that he gives us a new heart when we trust in Jesus. Thank God for his Holy Spirit who helps us want to be and able to be good
- Mirror – pray that as people belonging to God we might be able to reflect something of God’s goodness to the world.
