With the vocational discovery of children at the forefront, we’ll explore how children’s voices can lead and respond confidently in worship – in sung, spoken, and silent Word. In this hands-on session, we’ll discuss congregational song and identify markers of accessible hymnody for children – while learning how to introduce more difficult (yet foundational) pieces of our musical canon; we’ll create child-led litanies, prayers, or transitional pieces; and we’ll learn how to empower children’s voices in worship through art, nature, and service.

SEASONS OF THE CHURCH YEAR THROUGH A CHILD’S EYES – with Katie Houts
How do we invite wonder and foster connection as we move through the church year? For children – and even adults who are unfamiliar with our traditions – the seasons of the church year and their signs, symbols, and songs can be filled with mystery. We’ll focus on fostering connection in this guided journey through the liturgical seasons, generating ideas to heighten understanding and minimize disconnect. We’ll also touch briefly on child development and learning styles, discovering opportunities to nurture a child’s experience in worship as we move through the liturgical year.
