Worship is such an important part of children's ministry. We know that God inhabits the praises of His people.
And that includes the worship that children offer up to Jesus.
In fact, check out what is says in Matthew 21.
The blind and the lame came to Him at the temple, and He healed them. But the chief priests and scribes were indignant when they saw the wonders He performed and the children shouting in the temple courts, “Hosanna to the Son of David!”
Do you hear what these children are saying?” they asked. “Yes,” Jesus answered. “Have you never read: ‘From the mouths of children and infants You have ordained praise'?"
In this passage, we see that children led the way in praising Jesus.
Each week you have the opportunity to help kids enter the presence of Jesus through their praises.
That being said, let me ask you a question. Are the kids in your ministry actually singing during worship time? As I visit different churches across the country, I often see kids just standing there during worship time. Especially the older boys in the group.
If you can get the older boys to sing, then you will see all the kids engage in worship. Younger kids look up to bigger kids. When they see the older kids singing, they will jump in and worship as well.
Good, quality worship songs written with kids in mind are hard to come by these days. Instead of creating songs that are first and foremost for kids, churches often make the mistake of trying to bring down songs that were written for adults.
Another mistake I see is asking kids to sing songs that are too long. When you drag out the last few words of a song and repeat them over and over and over, kids begin to check out.
With these things in mind, that's why we created twelve original worship songs written and produced first and foremost for kids. No need "bringing these songs down to kids' level. They are already there. Ready for kids to sing and worship with.
These 12 songs were written by an amazing artist named "Travis August." Travis is a former kindergarten teacher and he knows how to relate to kids. He produces songs that have the sounds that today's kids love. Here's an upcoming event that Travis is going to be a part of.
Recently, a children's pastor in NYC started using the songs and wrote to us about it. She says it's just the kind of music that her kids love to hear and sing.You will see this as you listen to his songs. They are intentionally shorter songs to capture kids' attention and hold it through the end of the song.
The 12 songs are full of strong Biblical messages that will help your kids grow in their faith. They are written to compliment our Connect12 curriculum.
You can order the songs and get them as an instant download. Includes the audio with and without vocals and the worship video with and without vocals.
The price is right. You can get the whole album of 12 songs with audio and video for only $39.99 or single songs for only $9.99. Click here for more info. and more sample songs.
