Liturgy of the Word for Children
The Liturgy of the Word with Children is a worship experience geared especially for children. It mirrors the worship experience of the larger community, with a style that is engaging through prayer, song and activities. Jesus himself recognized that children have a pure spirituality, and he made them the primary spiritual model for all believers.
The Word of God has a message that is as relevant and fitting for children as it is for adults. The children, however, often fail to hear the message simply because the adult vocabulary is beyond their comprehension. Liturgy of the Word with Children offers an experience for the children to hear Scripture in words they understand and to share their own understanding of God's Word.
Celebrating the Liturgy of the word in this way is an empowering experience, giving children a foundation for understanding and appreciating Scripture.
