Summary: DO CHILDREN WHORSHIP? They can, you know! It's easy to talk about God to children, but fail to lead them to meet Him. It's easy to sing spiritual songs with children, but not sing to God. It's easy to tell Bible stories to children, or read Scripture with them, but not have the come face to face with the One of whom Scripture speaks. Children don't worship by being told to do so. Since worship involves the whole person--feelings, will, and mind--children must be taught and shown how to worship. This book by an experienced Christian educator show how you can use Scripture, music prayer, the offering, silence, art, stories and poetry, drama and movement so that they lead into God's presence. Two complete worship services--for primaries and juniors--are included as suggestions to lead young lives in worshiping God "in spirit and in truth."
