"Hands-on
worship for kids . . . that's what children's worship
services are all about. No more sitting and watching
worship . . . these worship services encourage kids to
get involved in the praise and worship of God." |

| "Today our
children presented 'God's Big Love' for our morning
worship service and there are not adequate words to tell
you how well this service was received by our mostly grey-haired
congregation! Your service touched the hearts of this
very staid, very traditional congregation in a meaningful
way. Bless you!" |

workshop about creating a children's worship service was
exactly what we were looking for. We're been thinking
about doing this kind of a service for quite a while, but
needed your creative input to get us going." |

services are Christ-centered and enthusiastically written!
