Let the Children Come and Worship

Jesus commanded that we should come to him as little children -- filled with wonder, bold with questions, pure in faith. Let the Children Come and Worship: Little Liturgies for Young Christians is a wonderful resource for Sunday school teachers, parents, youth leaders, children's ministers, pastors, and children to find a worship service, scripture, song references, lessons, skits, and stories helping children worship and praise God. In this collection of twelve liturgies, Judy Gattis Smith not only invites the young worshiper into a deeper faith with Jesus, but she also reminds the seasoned worshiper that praise and adoration should be pure and expectant. Each page reminds us that the idea of entering into worship shouldn't be reserved for adulthood; rather, worship is an innate desire given to us by our Creator. Sunday school teachers, parents, youth leaders, children's ministers, pastors, and children will all discover that the simple truths within these liturgies reach far beyond childhood, calling us all back to a pure worship that celebrates the gift of a Savior. Judy Gattis Smith and her husband, a retired Methodist minister, live in Midlothian, Virginia. They have two adult children and four granddaughters.
