Teaching Your Child to Value Worship: Part 3 - Arrive

Arrive - Be on time! – Show your child that no part of the service is less important than another part. Children notice when you rush in after service has began and sneak into class. Likewise, they notice when you are on time, prepared and relaxed. They can see that worship as a whole is valuable and they can notice when something is lost in the rush of arriving late. You communicate your priorities and the value of something by the time you give to it. Show your child how valuable and important worship is by being present for the whole service.
