Epiphany 3: Ideas to help you and your 3’s and under enjoy church and relate to the RCL readings.

Epiphany, Uncategorized 1 Minute

Sorry everyone for both the lateness and change of form as I had a fall and concussion. So am on a technology light diet while I heal.

Hope this is still useful.

Prepare a special church bag in advance each week so that you are ready for the rush on Sunday Morning.

Sit towards the front so they can see what is going on.

Read during the Bible readings,

Pray during the prayers,

Colour, Draw or Craft during the sermon.

Craft or drawing or play are for spiritual responses not for a perfectionist piece that can be shown off.

Remember that little ones will need their own space to move and wiggle,

Remember that you have bought your child to worship. Enjoy engaging them in it.

For 13 years I volunteered as a grief counsellor, but it was my personal experiences of loss that prompted the To Live and to Grieve Blog Until recently I was a Child and Families Worker to an inner city church in Australia. When my contract was completed it was suggested that I grow some of my on-line presence into what became " The cross in my backyard ", no longer serving one community but as a gift to parents/carers, and others involved in Child and Family Ministry. I have formal qualifications in Economics, Teaching, Counselling and Theology.
