7 sure-fire ways to make kids feel welcome in church
- Talk to them how they talk to you If they are shy, you need to be shy. If they are outgoing, be outgoing.
- Make fun of yourself If you can make funny faces or do funny voices, thats always a plus.
- Always stoop down to their level.
- Stay up on kid culture Dont ask them about The Littles or Duck Tails. Ask them about Phineas and Ferb.
- Give them things stickers, candy, Bible bucks.
- Learn their names and their parents’ names.
- ALWAYS greet the kids before their parents.
