Summer Sermon Notes Page for Kids: When it comes to engaging kids in church, a sermon notes page can work wonders.

There are lots of reasons why parents might choose to keep their kids in the adult service with them:

  • They are visiting and don’t feel comfortable turning their kids over to strangers
  • Their kids are sick or get sick easily
  • They want to teach their kids to sit quietly through the adult service
  • Their kids suffer from sparation anxiety
  • or, The church is unable to provide children’s programs

But, let’s face it: It’s hard for kids to pay attention in a service geared towards adults!

You want to welcome families and children into the adult worship service at your church.

You want the kids to feel included in the service.

But, you also need the kids to be relatively quiet. (You know the visiting family that shows up with the bin full of loud, clanking plastic toys, super noisy snacks, and the child who asks in a stage whisper when the service will be done every 3 minutes. You know who I’m talking about… And, quite frankly, I’ve been that mom, too!)
