Making memories, building faith

Sounding out words in the bulletin. Becoming an acolyte. Holding the baby in the Christmas pageant. WHY participating in such classic church rituals, activities, and holiday traditions creates memories and builds faith in children as they come of age. Worship Whys host Dawn Rundman asks her own young adult daughter, Svea, to recall her own childhood church experiences from the not-too-distant past. Svea has thoughts about how worship leaders can help kids take pride in participating and find their role in the congregation, with a special shout-out to those cherished “church grandmas.” Thanks for listening to this episode of Worship Whys! Dawn will be back again soon with another episode and more ideas about how your church can welcome children and their families.

episode CHILD CENTERED WORSHIP artwork

CHILD CENTERED WORSHIP

The New Testament’s lessons on welcoming children to worship WHY re-reading the Gospel stories of interactions between Jesus and children gives guidance for creating worship that truly centers children. Host Dawn Rundman talks to Biblical scholar, professor and author (and mom!) Amy Lindeman Allen about what it means when you take a “childist” (as opposed to an “adultist”) approach to your work. Amy’s book, “The Gifts They Bring: How Children in the Gospels Can Shape Inclusive Ministry,” reviews the lessons to be learned from the distinct and varied gifts that Jesus recognized in His connections with children and youth. It’s available wherever books are sold. Thanks for listening. Please share our podcast with your community and colleagues of other worship leaders. We’ll be back in your feed soon with another episode of Worship Whys!

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
