Do your kids ever get bored during church services?
A Typical Sunday Morning…
It was a typical Sunday morning. My family was sitting quietly in church while our pastor preached.
But, at some point, I began to have that nagging feeling that my kids weren’t paying attention.
I glanced over and saw my son discreetly playing with some legos he had smuggled to church in his pocket, completely tuned out to the sermon. One of my daughters was randomly drawing, while my other daughter squirmed in her seat. Then she asked for a stick of gum. Then she needed a kleenex. Then she desperately needed to use the bathroom.
We were in church, but my kids weren’t learning from God’s Word, and I felt frustrated and discouraged, wondering if church attendance was even worth the effort.
I knew I HAD to do something different to help my kids actually pay attention to the church sermon.
Let’s face it: Sitting through a church service can be hard for kids.
But now you can encourage your elementary aged children to pay attention, learn, and actively be involved in the worship service with this printable sermon notes page.
Printable Sermon Notes Page
Does sitting through church services with your kids feel like a marathon battle of the wills? It doesn’t have to be like this! Now you can easily help your elementary aged children actually listen, interact, and learn during the church service with this printable sermon notes page.
The front of the page includes fun “Today I:” questions to encourage your kids to come to church with a good attitude and participate in the service through greeting other people.
It also includes a “This Week” section to help your child review the sermon later in the week. This is a great activity for parents and kids to complete together.
The back of the page includes a “Sermon Notes” section, an activities box, prayer request box, and an application question.

Would love to use this sermon notes to help kids during online camp
Hi Anna….. On frugalcouponliving.com, I saw your sermon notes. The free sermon notes on there shows an “at home challenge”. I downloaded and even bought some, but I cannot find the one which contains the “at home challenge, but I cannot find it.
Please help. I love that part of the sermon notes….. takes it one step further and takes the message home.
thanks,
Sheila
Hello, Sheila. The sermon notes with the “at home challenge” were an older version. The new version includes the same questions in the “at home challenge”, but it was renamed “this week…”. That section is still meant to be completed at home. I hope that helps! May God bless you. – Anna Joy
Thanks so much! Have you ever let the kids get something special if they hand them in to a Sunday school teacher after the service?
No, but that is a great idea, Laura. Thank you for sharing it!
As Children’s Coordinator of my church, I make a bulletin based on the same scripture as the Pastor. It is a great way for families to discuss the sermon over lunch. It is nice to have a different style bulletin for the children. Thank you very much!
Yay, I am so glad you can use these! Thanks for letting me know, Sherry. May God bless you.
i think it will help me as teacher in Indonesia Sunday School
thank you
Thank you
Can’t wait to try this out with the children in my church
You are such a blessing. I’m very new to teaching at church. My husband and I both teach 3rd – 5th graders on Sunday Church School, and your resources are amazing! You are God sent. Time is very limited for me as I’m attending classes at the university, and I have a little one of my own. I usually spent hours looking for ways to make sure my kids leave with the message in their hearts and minds. I wonder if we were clear, and the sermon notes are perfect for my own feedback and for parents, too. No more wondering! Thank you for blessing others with your talent!
thank u
Thank You This will work great for my little ones during church
This is an awesome sermon notes page that I can’t wait to use with my son!
Anna, you are blessed with a talent of creating the most beautiful and very useful Sermon Notes Pages. I printed them and started handing one or two out to those who wanted to make notes. The response I had from the parents were amazing. This Sunday, I printed them all and handed them out to everyone. Needless to say, the children are super excited and they feel so important. This is definitely helping our children live the Word not only on a Sunday, but during the whole week. Thank you for blessing us with your wonderful creations.
Mel, thank you so much for letting me know. I really appreciate it. May God bless you as you minister to these precious children in your church.
very interested
Thank you
I received a link to the printable sermon notes, but the link didn’t take me anywhere.
Diana, when you click the download link, the printables will automatically download onto your computer. You can go back and find the file in your recent downloads file – or open it from the bottom bar on your computer. I hope this helps.
I am on my Church’s Children’s Ministry Team and I am so excited to offer something like this to our young worshipers. Thank you for making them available.
You are welcome, Judy. May God bless you!
This is so great, thank you!

These are such a good idea! I like changing things up a bit from time to time, stretching the minds of my kids especially as we seek to hide God’s word in our hearts.

These look so great to use in Sunday school, especially since the parents have sermon notes as well from church.
I would love to be able to use your double sided sermon notes. We are excited to have our young folks start to take notes in worship. I have looked at many online but I am really intrigued by yours.
Thank you so much for sharing. Can’t wait to try them!
Look great!

We have been using childrens sermon notes at our church. I am looking for different ones so not the same each Sunday and also different ages. Thanks for sharing.
This looks really cool. Maybe when my two littles get older we can use it.
Thanks for sharing.
