Our children's
choirs meet for practices every Wednesday evening at 7:00 pm.
While the adults are beginning the Wednesday night service, the children
and directors of the choirs enjoy a fun-filled time of music and
learning geared toward teaching our children about the one who loves
them most—Jesus! Why is it important for my child to learn how to sing and read music? Music is an
integral part of worship, because it puts our focus on God and prepares
our hearts for preaching. God loves when we praise Him through
music - and everyone, including children, can participate in such an
activity. In fact, Jesus Himself said in Mark 10:14, “Suffer (allow)
the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not; for of such is
the
Our children’s choirs allow the children of the church as well as
the helpers that lead them to put these Scriptures into practice.
Singing and practicing teaches
children to obey Scripture by praising God through song. It
teaches them discipline when they attend faithfully and work hard
every week, and it also gives them musical skills that will serve
them throughout their lives. Besides all this, singing is
simply just enjoyable for children! Once a month each choir
sings for the church congregation the song it has been learning and
practicing. Little children love to perform for their parents and other adults. A huge cuteness factor is involved when a bunch of three- to five-year-olds is put together and paraded into the auditorium, lined up, and then given the opportunity to sing before the church congregation. With the girls all dressed up in frilly dresses and hair bows, and the boys in little suits and ties, they look like grown-ups in miniature. Sometimes they succumb to shyness or stage fright, but even that can be quite adorable! And what adult, especially a proud mom or dad, can resist the big grins (and an occasional wave) from an adorable bunch of little children singing their hearts out?
But my
preschooler cannot read - how will he be able to learn the songs? Children
learn best by the use of hand motions with the music and by constant
repetition. Our preschool choir director knows this and
chooses songs accordingly that are simple and easy to remember.
We hope to see you and your
family very soon! Take advantage of this opportunity, offered
every Wednesday evening at 7 pm!
