Hey kids! You go to church, right? But have you ever thought about WHY you do it? Kids have gone to church for hundreds of years, and it’s a good thing! Your parents probably went to church, and your grandparents before them.
There are three main reasons we go to church:
Reason #1: To learn about Jesus
Did you notice that we learn about Jesus every single week at Kids Church? It’s important to understand who Jesus is and what he did for us.
2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word of God. Be prepared, whether the time is favorable or not. Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage your people with good teaching.
Reason #2: To sing together
God loves it when we come together to sing. Singing in church is our way of saying “thanks” to God and “we love you”. It’s a privilege!
Psalm 95:1 Come, let us sing to the Lord! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation.
Reason #3: To help one another
Did you know that you have a gift to share with other people at church? Maybe your gift is being friendly to other kids, or you’re gifted at memorizing your memory verse and sharing it. Perhaps you’re a good helper and you help your teacher in class.
1 Peter 4:10 God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.
