Intergenerational Sundays are where kids and parents worship together.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
Kids Ministry for grades K – 5th will be suspended on these Sundays, so kids are able to join their parents in worship. Parents and children are encouraged to worship together.
Childcare is provided for ages 0 – 5.
The service might be a little louder than normal, but that is OK! We value all our generations worshiping together.
What can the older generations do to encourage kids to worship with their family?
Introduce yourself to a family with young kids and learn their names.
Be willing to serve in the 0-5 age classes on InterGen Sundays so parents can sit with their elementary kids.
Tips to prepare your entire family for InterGen Sundays:
Check when you are serving and find a replacement, if necessary.
Talk to your kids about what to expect in the service. (communion, offering, etc.)
Consider stopping by our kids table on your way into service for kid-friendly resources.
Adjust your expectations and be okay with wiggly behavior.
Arrive early and let your kids pick out where they might like to sit.
Three Key Reasons We Care About InterGen Sundays:
Spiritual Formation: Research shows that kids who are integrated into the broader church from a young age are more likely to maintain their faith into adulthood.
Belonging: We want elementary-age kids to feel at home in our Sunday services and see themselves as vital members of the church community.
Discipleship Culture: InterGen Sundays are a step toward building a more vibrant, whole-church discipleship culture at Liberty.
