....Encouraging Each Other to Experience God & Hear His Voice
Repost: WORSHIP LESSON 2
WORSHIP IS A CONDUIT FOR THE PRESENCE OF GOD...it is
so important for us to praise Jesus.
Here are some lessons that can be broken up over a series
of sessions. It is a repost from 2011 but full of timeless
multiple modality activities for kids to help them connect
with God.
WORSHIP LESSON Part 2
Pick & choose which elements would be best for your group
Materials: Tape or tacks to hang up items, Bibles 2 or
3 depending on class size, classical music of stringed
instruments, cd player, Kirk Franklin CD or other fast
worship music kids like, Hillsongs Supernatural DVD
(optional), red folder for each student with a
few white & lined pages inside + pre-printed psalm
scripture page, masking tape (optional for Dance E)
**Optional props for the Joshua Skit for the kids to
act out in the "shouting" section D include pretend
swords, trumpets, an arc or bible, and something to
carry the arc/bible on.
CLASS Prep: Print out review Power verse and hangup, and
Picture version of Revelation 4 (in lesson 1) put next to art.
Hang up an art gallery from last lessons work if you chose
to do the art activity.
PUT LIST ON BOARD ON WAYS TO WORSHIP:
Clapping and waving hands, flags, streamers & banners,
instruments, SHOUTING, singing, writing, art, dance, mime,
OR
(Instead of the song above, find the Handel's Messiah
that uses psalms)
(Play Handel's Messiah: A soulful celebration CD (or
another version) or any song comprised of a psalm)
"Lift up your heads, O ye gates"
Psalm 24: 7 - 10
Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye
everlasting doors; and the King of Glory shall come
in. Who is this King of Glory? The Lord strong and
mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. Lift up your heads,
O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors;
and the King of Glory shall come in. Who is this King
of Glory? The Lord of Hosts, He is the King of Glory.
SO we see even TODAY Psalms is one of the most
popular and useful books of the bible.
(THEN discuss how David feels happy and sad and
expressed it in psalms. SO he is worshipping God thru
writing)
WRITING IS ANOTHER FORM OF WORSHIPPING
That is how we get inspired & fun books and songs.
God can give us ideas and words for them. We today
can also write to God or about him to express how we
feel.
E. DANCE & Mime
(In this section any action song will lend itself to the kids
getting "loose". They can also act out a song in mime if it
has a storyline.)
Psalm 149:3a
Let them praise His name in the dance....
------Optional Activity - BIND UP THE ENEMY-------*This idea is I have heard from several places but is
fully taught and developed to help the kids really
understand concepts using visuals. on a great DVD
set by Deborah Reed "Releasing & Training Children
F. Everyday Life
There are countless other ways to worship GOD....
like bowing down as Jacob did when he was so old he
could do no more,
but it is key to remember that everyday life worship
is still WORSHIP......worshipping God by thanking him
throughout our day.....at school, home, outside, at
the mall, at our friend's house.....everywhere....it is a
heart of thankfulness......
telling God thank you for even the little stuff!!
G. Art Time
(Give out Red Folders- "Thank you God books for them to
decorate or get started using)
These are YOUR worship folders....some call them
"Thank You GOD" books. In here you will find a few
