Dear children, be responsible! In the church, we learn about God and His word. Just like at school where you relate with other people, you relate with a lot of other people in the church. At church, you meet with the pastors, church members, visitors, and other children like you.

So, how do you show responsibility in church?

1. Show respect for God’s house

The first step is by showing respect for the house of God. You don’t disturb during service but listen to the children’s church teachers as they teach. Do not cause distractions or lead others into mischief.

2. Show respect for the adults

Respect all the adults including your parents. Greet people appropriately as you meet them, smile, and say “thank you” when they pay you a compliment. Answer and ask questions politely.

3. Do not litter the floor

Don’t litter the church environment with the wrappings of candies or biscuits you eat. Find a waste bin and use it. In the event that you do litter the floor, pick the litter off the ground and trash it.

4. Be of help to your teachers

Another cool way to be responsible is by helping to assist your teachers or those that need help. You could help the elderly to carry their bags or bibles to their car.

You could also volunteer to stay with the preschool kids and teach them some cool gospel songs. When it’s feeding time, you could help to feed them.

Dear children, be responsible. There are more cool ways to be responsible at church. Just ask the Holy Spirit to show you how. And may He do so. Amen.

Prayer:
Father, help me to show respect for your house by being responsible for my actions and words at church.

Action point:
