Last Sunday..

I forgot to mention about what happened yesterday in the church.
We had our church service by having the children ministry involved. It took a week and a half to plan before yesterday, and it was great.

After the missions sunday (2 weeks ago) the youth team planned for the church service to have the children be involved for an upcoming sunday. We decided to do this even as part of the "missions" theme of the church. We were thinking its a way to give variety to the new people who came to the "missions" Sunday. Our church believes having variety(at times) on church services will interest people in many ways..

1. It can show new people(in the church) the different types of ministries in the church.Like showing that there is a strong kids ministry.
2. It can break a boring, monotenous, predictable sunday to the usual members.
3. It challenges and gives opportunities to different parts(ministries) of the church to be more active  and inloved with each other.
4. It can give rest to, or give time to plan for other ministries.

It's like a head pastor letting his/her assitant pastor preach on one Sunday and gives time for the head pastor to plan/focus on other things around the church, or maybe work on two sermons so he/she can be well prepared for upcoming sundays.

On yesterdays service, we let the kids ministry join and lead the praise and worship part of church. We also let them do a special number and skit. Also, the pastors message was directed (mainly) on the kids. This was great because, we invited a lot of kids(around 8-15 yrs old) to that Sunday.

The whole service was great. Many kids came to check out the church. Also, the youth kids team did a great job singing and performing for the Lords glory. It was also another opportunity(for the leaders) to share and build relationships with new people(especially to the new kids who came).
