Worship
“Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth.  Worship the LORD with gladness; come into his presence with singing.  Know that the LORD is God.  It is he that made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.  Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise.  Give thanks to him, bless his name.  For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.”  (Psalm 100:1-5, NRSV)

To the parents of young children, may we suggest…
  • Relax!  God put the wiggle in children; don’t feel you have to suppress it in God’s house.  All are welcome!
  •  Sit toward the front where it is easier for your little ones to see and hear what’s going on at the altar.  They tire of seeing the backs of others’ heads.
  • Quietly explain the parts of the worship service and actions of the pastor and worship leaders, choir, ushers, and readers.
  • Sing the hymns, pray and voice the responses.  Children learn liturgical behavior by copying you.  
  • If you have to leave the sanctuary with your child, feel free to do so, but please come back.  As Jesus said, “Let the children come to me.”
  • Remember that the way we welcome children in worship directly affects the way they respond to the Church and a life of faith, to God, and to one another.  Let them know that they are at home in this house of worship.
  • You may wish to let your child draw and doodle.  They may even put their artistic offering in the offering plate at that point in the service.

To others in our midst:
  • The presence of children is a gift to the Church and they are a reminder that the Church of Jesus Christ is a multi-generational body of Christ followers.  Please welcome our children and give a smile of encouragement to their parents and caregivers. 
Welcome to Christ Lutheran and to the community that worships here.  As we gather, we seek to honor God who calls us to worship in our life together and as individuals – children, youth, and adults.  We cherish the light that each person brings to our time together.   We hear again that God is a God of both the light and dark, and is present with us through all that life presents to us.  We are reminded in worship of the Good News that Jesus brings to each of us as we proclaim that Good News when we sing and pray, listen and speak, confess and hear words of forgiveness, baptize, and are guests of Jesus Christ at the Lord’s Supper.
