Mix-and-Match Worship
by

Kids, you can be powerful and effective worship leaders in your homes. Learning to take a leadership role in spiritual life is really important! Who knows? Maybe it will inspire you to want to be pastors someday, or to start your own ministries to be lights in the world. God has great plans for you, and a way to help you get ready for them is to learn how to lead out in family worship.
If that seems a little scary, don’t worry! We’ve created a simple mix- and-match formula to help you come up with new and creative ways to do family worship. It works like this: four categories make up your worship “program.” Within each category are sample suggestions. Simply choose one suggestion from each category to make up your program. Make up your own way of keeping track and adding to this formula.
Here’s a sample of how to do it.
Songs:
“Jesus Loves Me”
“As the Deer”
“Shout to the Lord”
Prayer Person:
Mom
Dad
Sibling
Visitor
Stories:
From a book
From your head
From the Sabbath School quarterly
From the Internet
Activities:
From Growing Faith
From the Sabbath School quarterly
From something you did in Sabbath School
Feel free to play around with this and add your own ideas.
We hope you enjoy making your family worship fun for all!
