PARENT’S GUIDE TO HELPING  THEIR CHILDREN IN WORSHIP SERVICE

*Encourage your children to stand and sit with the congregation.

*Involve the children in music experiences.   

*Help your child to find the Scripture passages in their own Bibles.

*Speak of attending the worship service as a special opportunity

*Take care of basic physical needs before the worship service. Take your child to the restroom and walk around a little if they have been physically inactive for a while

*Sit together as a family, especially when they are young.  This gives you the ability to guide their behavior as well as to interpret things they may not understand.
