“Rocking” Daycare Wednesday Worship

As some of you know, every Wednesday Chad and I lead worship for a kids church service at Open Arms Child Care.  Open Arms is a ministry which provides free daycare to families to prevent kids from ending up in orphanages.  They provide a huge blessing for many families in our area. 

So, back to Wednesdays. This is how it goes: 3pm all the kids come running into the sanctuary, a nice room with lots of windows over looking the valley.  Chad and I, and sometimes a drummer, lead the kids in about 4 songs. Of course we have lots of motions and we like it when the kids have high energy because they really get into the worship, sometimes literally shouting the words out.  After worship, there is a time for the kids to come up front and share why they are grateful to God, then one of the daycare leaders gives a small sermon and then after the sermon they a worksheet that relates to the message.

This Wednesday was great and it was unique because Chad gave the sermon. And he mimed. Here is a video of his friend who he got the idea from, this is the message he shared.

The kids really loved it, bursting into laughter, and it held their attention amazingly well!

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the LORD with all your heart
   and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
   and he will make your paths straight
