Welcome Time
As children arrive, allow them to give their offerings and add Chart Stickers to the Chart Poster. Sing this song to the tune of “Jesus Loves Me.” Use different names each time you sing the song.

Let the children mention their prayer requests. Pray for each need. Name people who help at church, such as the janitor, the organist, and the secretary. Lead the children in this prayer to thank God for these people. Can you name some people who help at church? Thank You, God, for people who help us at church.
