CHILDREN’S WORSHIP
This school year children (4 years to Grade 2) are learning about how we worship God on Sundays and every day with a three-week lesson unit on each part of our worship service. On the last Sunday of the unit, students will complete an art project expressing that element of worship.
Adoration Unit (on Nov. 5, 12 & 19)
We say to God: “I love you” (part of the Story of Worship)
Hand motion: hands crossed over chest
Theme Verse: Psalm 29:2
Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; worship the LORD in the splendor of holiness.

God protects, provides for, and guides us.
We find comfort and rest, refreshment. As He leads us, we need not fear.
We follow where God leads, we praise Him, will live with Him forever.
