How to Prepare Your Kids for our Good Friday Service

Our Good Friday service is very different from the typical Sunday worship service your kids may be used to. They are quieter, reflective and may feel more serious. Share with your child, in advance, that this service helps us to remember Jesus’ love and sacrifice. 

What to share with your kids to shepherd their expectations  

You can prepare your child(ren) by letting them know the Good Friday service will feel more serious and there will be moments of silence for reflection. They may see artwork of the crucifixion. The service will end in darkness and will be dismissed in silence. Remind them that the sadness they may feel prepares our hearts for the joy of Easter. 

Encourage Questions
Kids may have feelings or things that they are thinking about during these services. After the service, encourage questions and talk about it.
