Field Trips

Sit in the front so children can see, and so youth and adults can fully participate, rather than spectate.
Prepare an outline of the worship service for your children - or show them an outline - and point out where you are at each point. Teach them the meaning of the various parts of worship.
Teach your children how to use a hymnal, bulletin and Bible. Before worship begins, help them find the scripture lessons in the bible (page numbers are listed in the bulletin), and encourage them to follow along as the lector reads the lessons.
Sing the hymns with your children. teach them faith songs, hymns and prayers at home.
Use the ride home to talk about what was experienced at worship.
