“Growing in Worship provides children with a weekly guide to the words, actions, people and Bible stories they encounter in worship each Sunday. It engages their minds and their spirits with Christ as He is encountered each week in Word and Sacrament, and then sends them home with Christ–centered ideas and suggestions for the week ahead. Every congregation should get Growing in Worship. It is truly a wonderful resource for our children!”
— Revs. David Johnson and Jon Vieker

Colorful, eye-catching, and interactive, this four–page weekly worship folder highlights the theme and message of the day and presents the time of the Church Year and special festivals. Growing in Worship engages children in the worship service – actually doing what others are doing, looking at the chancel, watching how things are done, listening for different words. It is done through the following sections of the worship folder:
See!
Hear!
Do!
Engaging activity unpacks the message of the Gospel reading. Growing in Worship gets children looking at symbols, banners, paraments, furnishings and rubrics of the church and service, and delivers understanding on what they see.
Words To Know!
Did You Know?
Family Faith Talk!
This resource is ideal for children ages 5–10, but parents and others will be drawn to its content and appealing design. These 8-1/2” x 14” (unfolded) bulletins are available in the three-year Lutheran Service Book Lectionary.
