Worship idea: ‘Picture Cards’ - helping children to worship God in a new way


Worshipping God with children and teenagers

What is worship?  Very often when we take a hard look at our children's ministry we have to come to the conclusion that  the only way that we teach children to worship God is through singing. 'Worship equals singing' and 'singing equals worship'.

But what do you do when you have some children in your Sunday school, kids ministry, kids club, etc who don't like singing? Who even refuse to sing? Who will boycot any attempt to singing by making jokes, funny movements or funny sounds?

Yes, this has all happened to me in the past! Can I help these children or teenagers to worship even though they won't sing?

I think we can...

Setting:

Children's Sunday School, children's ministry, children's work, Messy church, school assemblies, RE lessons, youth work, teenagers, small churches,
