Kids’ Corner in Worship

We have created a special Kids Corner in the back of the Sanctuary, designed to engage children during worship through a variety of fun and enriching activities. In this area, children will find:

• Books:A curated selection of engaging, age-appropriate books designed to inspire and nurture young hearts.
• Coloring and Activity Pages: Updated weekly, we provide kid-friendly bulletins that align with the themes of Children’s Worship. These bulletins encourage self-expression while focusing on faith-based content. Children are invited to pick one up before the service, take it to their pew, and return it afterward.
• Worship Journals: For older kids, we offer designated journals to jot down thoughts, prayers, and reflections during the worship service, promoting active engagement with the message.
• Other Activities: A variety of engaging options are available to keep kids entertained and involved, ensuring a fulfilling experience throughout the service.

Important Note: Parents are responsible for supervising their children in this area. Kids are welcome to take clipboards and coloring utensils to the pews, allowing them to quietly draw and engage during the service.
