Activity Ideas for Home
-
One way we praise God is through singing and dancing! Play some kid-friendly praise music on youtube or spotify and have a dance party!
-
Try including scripture reading in your bedtime routine. Pick one verse or story from a children’s Bible to read every night for one week. Spend time wondering together about what God is saying.
-
Go for a walk and look for the good things that God has made. Name things that you see saying, “I see a flower, and it is good!” “I see a puppy, and it is good!”.
-
Spend time looking at photographs of family and friends. Give thanks for each person and ask God to bless them.
This Month's Songs
This is the Way (Chapel Version)
This is the way we pray together, pray together, pray together
This is the way we pray together when we come to chapel
This is the way we read our Bibles…
This is the way we sing our praise…
This is the way we worship our Lord…
The Whole World is in God's Hands
The whole world is in God’s hands (3x)
The whole world’s in God’s hands.
The sun and the moon…
The wind and the rain…
The mountains and the rivers…
The fish and the birds…
The little bitty babies…
Our whole family…
Everybody here…
I Am the Church
I am the church! You are the church!
We are the church together!
All who follow Jesus, all around the world!
Yes, we're the church together!
Chorus:
The church is not a building;
the church is not a steeple;
the church is not a resting place;
the church is a people.
(Repeat Chorus)
God is So Good
God is so good, God is so good, God is so good
God’s so good to me.
The world is so good, the world is so good
God made the world, and the world is good.
I am good, too. I am good, too.
God made me, and I am good, too.
I’m Gonna Sing, Sing, Sing
I’m gonna sing, sing, sing
I’m gonna shout, shout, shout
I’m gonna sing, I’m gonna shout
And praise the Lord
When the gates are open wide,
I’m gonna sit by Jesus’ side.
I’m gonna sing; I’m gonna shout
And praise the Lord
I’m gonna clap/stomp (or pat)...
I’m gonna zoom around the room…
I’m gonna fly up to the sky…
I’m gonna read/pray…
Read Your Bible and Pray Every Day
​Read your Bible and pray everyday,
pray everyday, pray everyday
Read your Bible and pray everyday
And you’ll grow, grow, grow.
And you’ll grow, grow, grow
And you’ll grow, grow, grow
Read your Bible and pray every day
And you’ll grow, grow, grow
Don’t read your Bible, don’t pray everyday
And you’ll shrink, shrink, shrink…
