Children’s Services are now recommended to be held twice a year, rather than quarterly as in the past. This change allows for greater flexibility in scheduling and planning within local congregations.

When planning a Children’s Service, it is important to use the special Children’s Service Divine Service Guide provided by the Faith Arc Team. This guide replaces the regular Sunday Divine Service Guide for that day and should be used as the primary resource for the service.  The purpose of a Children’s Service is to:

  • Provide children with a message that is clear, memorable, and meaningful to their lives.
  • Make children feel seen and valued by placing them at the heart of the congregation.
  • Foster connections between generations within the congregation.
  • Reinforce the importance of the divine service while deepening their understanding of Christ and the Bible.
