Ideas for a Kids' Ministry
- The children' choir is a popular form of ministry for young parishioners. At the end of the year, the choir can sing carols and put on a nativity concert. The concert can be held in the church itself and be open to the public.
- The children's choir can also visit various community sites to perform. For example, the choir can visit sick at hospitals, senior centers and other locations.
- Young children can learn biblical lessons by creating various arts and crafts. For example, children can draw figures from a nativity scene, including the baby Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary. They can then explain the significance of these figures to other children in small skits.
- Children have several vacations every academic year, including during the summer months. This is a great time to have a vacation Bible school, which is an extension of weekly Sunday school sessions. Because you have more time during these sessions, children can read lessons, perform skits and sing songs.
