In Worship and Wonder on Saturday night, 9 a.m. & 11 a.m. Sunday, this week’s lesson:

Listening to God

This first lesson is about introducing children to the ways of Worship and Wonder.  Going through with them how we prepare to hear God’s word, how we silence ourselves in preparation and how we talk to God in our special place--that place is Worship and Wonder. The children are taught the songs and signs to Worship and Wonder songs:  Father I Adore You and Be Still and Know I am God.
