How would you define worship? How do you convey that to the kids you work with? For me worship is a time spent concentrating on God and his greatness, often with music. Worship takes many different forms. You can stand while you worship or you can walk or kneel. You can sing when you worship, play instruments, or be silent during worship. The focus is on God, not necessarily what you do or how you do it.

One thing that makes me very proud is when our kids worship. You can look around the room and see that even at a young age, they understand how to worship. I love watching my daughter worship: when it is time to worship and concentrate on God she closes her eyes, raises her hands, and sings. Looking around the room at the other kids some have eyes open, some have their eyes closed. Some sway back and forth, some stand still, and yet other walk back and forth. The thing they have learned is that there is not a formula for worship: you have to do x,y and z in order for it to be worship.

They know that how they worship is not important.

The important thing is that they worship.
