But Jesus called the children to him and said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.”

Luke 18: 16

Some thoughts on Children & Spiritual Disciplines...

Children have a beautiful way of connecting with God through their creativity, expression, and thoughtfulness about the ways of the Kingdom. Through providing them with guidance and support at home and in their worship space, children can develop mature habits in the spiritual disciplines.

Throughout the coming months, we will be bringing focus to the disciplines of prayer, worship, and study. Utilizing the book Habits of a Child’s Heart by Valerie Hess, teachers in the Godly Play classrooms will be providing children with the opportunity to explore these disciplines on their own and with guidance. If you would like to provide insight about ways in which you teach these disciplines at home, we would really appreciate it.

It is our hope that all families connected with trinityKids will be able to say, as in the book of Joshua, “As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” (Joshua 24:15)
