Wonders of Worship
While bringing children to worship may not always be an easy task, we need to remember that attending worship is an extremely important part of a child’s spiritual growth. Children learn what it means to worship God by observing the examples of adults. The presence of children in the life and mission of the faith community is an opportunity that should be taken seriously as we respond to the call of raising the next generation of God’s people! Inman UMC is responding to this mission in two ways.
First, we are beginning our new Wonders of Worship program. Following the children’s sermon in the 11:00 am service, the children will gather to learn about the different aspects of worship. They will discover exactly why we do what we do and what it means. They will also begin to learn the common prayers, creeds and hymns of the church.
Second, we want to help parents guide their children before, during, and after worship so that all members of the family are able to be a part of the worship experience. Yes, there will be squirming. Yes, there will be some whining, but the church wants to partner with parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles in caring for our children and helping them to discover the wonders of worship. As part of this effort, every few months we will publish various tips for helping prepare your children for worship as well as ways to lead them during the worship service.
"Parenting in the Pew" tip sheets will be available on our website soon…
Nursery is available for children, birth thru 2 years, at the 11:00 a.m. worship services and during the Sunday School hour. We also have a special Sunday School class for our toddlers and preschool.
Sunday School for elementary children meets each week at 9:50 a.m.
Children's church is offered at the 11 a.m. worship service for pre-school children thru 3rd grade. Our program includes a time of child-friendly worship based on our church calendar and time for creative experiences through our centers (clay, painting, puzzles, drawing, collage, etc.)
