Leading Worship For Kids

Kids are AWESOME

Leading Worship For Kids
Tiger Khokunthod

This summer, as you may know, I'm working at Lake Geneva Youth Camp. I'm the A/V Sound Technician but I'm also a Music Lead. I've already had the chance to lead worship for kids and it's been such a blessing. I love leading worship and leading worship for kids has been such an experience. If you've never led worship at a camp before or for kids, I would love to share with you guys just a little bit of what I've been learning and how God is using this opportunity to impact me this summer.

Kids are AWESOME. It's true. Have you ever had times throughout the school year where you just needed a little bit more excitement? Well, hundreds of kids can give you just that and a whole lot more. Kids have a young excitement that literally can't come from anywhere else. So what that means is that I constantly have an excitement to lead worship and see them in worship.

There isn't anything like seeing young 6 through 8 year olds really understand who and what God can do in their lives. There is a common misconception that kids don't have the ability to fully grasp who God is. Something I've learned ever since I've been apart of camp ministry is that, this misconception is absolutely not true. Kids truly have the ability to worship God, if you are really intentional in allowing God to work. There is nothing that I can do to change lives, but I'm so glad that I can be a little part of some kids' lives.

If you've never worked in childrens ministry or your view on it has CHANGED I pray that you give it a chance.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
