Thanks in Children's Words
This service centers on the theme of giving thanks for country, church, and children. Each of the three sections features a litany, meditation, and prayer that involve a number of participants from the congregation.
Praise magnifies God’s attributes and actions, extending our vision like a telescope to behold God’s goodness and beauty. This article provides a list of contemporary songs that do just that.
This congregational prayer includes scriptural responses taken from the book of Revelation. It would work well on Christ the King Sunday or any time the service is focused on Christ’s victory and reign. The headings are for the leader’s benefit and should not be spoken though they could be included on a projection slide.
This litany is the text of Psalm 100 interspersed with Philippians 4:4–9 for two readers, for a leader and the congregation or for a congregation split into two parts.
