We need to train our children from a young age to appreciate and participate in the worship service. To do this, they need to be in the worship service. Church services give us the opportunity to come into the presence of God with other people of God, both young and old. As children observe and join believers in worship, they learn to focus on God and see His greatness. However, little ones often have trouble sitting and listening for the length of the service.
The church notebooks for younger children provide parents with helpful suggestions to prepare children to understand and participate in the worship service. The My Church Journal has a note to encourage young people as they learn how to worship God.

“What a benefit there is when children witness their mother or father singing with conviction, praying in reverence, listening intently to the sermon, or receiving the Lord’s Supper in joy. In these moments a child witnesses the importance of faith and worship. There are few greater encouragements to a child’s faith then seeing their parents worship God with reverence and joy.”
