God Made Me for Worship by Jared Kennedy

Mrs. Jackson’s fourth-grade class asks their pastor why there are so many parts to a church service. Pastor Barnabas tells the students that all the parts of worship tell the gospel story. He explains the Call to Worship, Praise and Adoration, Confession and Lament, Words of Assurance, Welcome, Ministry of the Word, Communion, Obedience, and Benediction.

Jared Kennedy has written a picture book that efficiently explains the “why” of a worship service to children. As adults, we may not even really think about why we do what we do at church, but this does such a wonderful job of unpacking the different parts of the service, why we do them, and how they point to Jesus. Besides in your home, this would be an excellent tool to use in a Children’s Ministry setting.
