Church Consumption, VBS, and Art | New Bread
https://breakingnewbread.wordpress.com/2015/07/21/church-consumption-vbs-and-art
Church Consumption, VBS, and Art. July 21, 2015. July 21, 2015. There were several reasons I wanted to try an alternative to the traditional model of VBS. The first is that there are very few options to. Choose from. I feel like every church in town is doing Everest right now. So I don’t get the sense that the need to reproduce that format is a need in our area. There’s also something about the current format of VBS that doesn’t sit. It could be that VBS is perfect for your context. It may be an incr...

Children preaching | New Bread
https://breakingnewbread.wordpress.com/2015/10/23/children-preaching/comment-page-1
October 23, 2015. October 23, 2015. Earlier this month I co-preached with an eight-year old from my congregation. As is often the case I processed this experience in a sermon, which was preached at the Community Mennonite Church (Harrisonburg, VA) retreat on Oct 18. I chose Hannah. She’s naturally curious, inquisitive. She loves church and she’s not afraid to look silly. All of these I believe are traits of a good preacher. I remember one Sunday after Hannah read Scripture she turned to h...I have to adm...

Ashes in the Hands of Children. February 19, 2015. February 19, 2015. My daughter showed up five minutes before the service started. Both our littles were falling asleep in the car so my husband sent T in alone. All that silence. All that ritual. I handed her over to the senior pastor in the front row. She wasn’t alone. Lots of children came with parents. It was a powerful moment to turn this responsibility over to our children, to say, “now you go and remind others that God is calling them back...

Hymns children want to sing | New Bread
https://breakingnewbread.wordpress.com/2015/07/14/hymns-children-want-to-sing
Hymns children want to sing. July 14, 2015. This past Sunday our worship was a hymn sing. We kept the structure of our regular worship, but let hymns carry us through the prayers and liturgies. For our Pew Project I asked children to either write their own hymn, or to write or draw the subject of a hymn that we don’t usually hear about. I looked up their request and this is what I found, noting that some are incredibly obscure:. 8216;Tis folly all – let me no more be told – Madame Guyon. You are commenti...

https://breakingnewbread.wordpress.com/2016/03/07/good-friday-family-worship
Good Friday Family Worship. March 7, 2016. March 7, 2016. I know I’m not alone. So this year Duke Memorial UMC. Will have Good Friday Family Worship. It’s earlier, at 5:30 pm. And we’re structuring it in a way that meets children where they’re at developmentally. We’re not going to shy away from the sad reality of Jesus’ death, but we’re also going to go to the surprise at the end of the story – that the story ends in a miraculous surprise. Here are some of the features of the service:. At the end of the...
