One of the cool things we do here at Sunny Hills is do a “family style” service each fifth Sunday. What does that mean?
- KIDLight ages (grades K – 5) will be with the adults the whole time … usually our kids go to Sunday School while the adults are in the worship service.
- Our middle schoolers remain in the worship service the whole time … usually our middle school students leave after the singing to do a Bible study designed just for them.
Because the service is packed with kids and middle school students we do some things a little different:
- The pastor explains in simple terms some of the worship elements kids may not understand.
- Kids who want to are invited to sit on the front row.
- Kids who want to are invited to help out with the sermon. The sermon is more “active” and “participant oriented” on fifth Sundays. We often play games together or act out parts of the Bible story. The idea is to get kids involved in the sermon so they don’t think it’s too boring or whatever.
- Kids who want to are invited to help collect the offering.
Fifth Sunday services are fun, even more fun than our regular services. Why not give Sunny Hills Church a try this weekend … it’ll be different than what you’re used to, probably, but that’s not a bad thing.
