Youth Activities!

One popular activity with the younger set is Children's Church. While the adults are in worship, children have a short service followed by an activity. The following article covers one of their activities.


On Sunday during Children's Church, some our our youth learned about the use of the internet in the life of our church.

We discussed why we have a web site for our church and who might find the information useful. From that base, we created a list of what our web site should contain.

Next, we went online from the church office and checked the church's site for the things which we had discussed.

Our group lines up to take turns checking parts of the St Paul's web site. Here, Elizabeth verifies that we have a map so that visitors may find us.

Being able to contact the minister was high on the list of important things. We learned that we can send our ministers' notes by clicking on the minister's name.
Kelly signs her name to a note.

Recommendations from the youth:
  • Add more information about our ministers.
  • Add BYF - Beginning Youth Fellowship - to list of organizations.

Comments:
What a pleasure it was to work with these young people. All of them participated in our short "class room" session before moving into the office for hands on. Their ideas for how we should use the web were right on target and will result in future changes.

Parents may reinforce what we learned by reviewing the site with their child and have them explain why different things are included: For example: times, child care, maps, address, phone numbers, organizations, etc. Providing information to prospective members, was a key point.
