Those Moments

You know that moment... the one - you know. You can see it, sense it, feel it in the entire room. It's the moment when you can look out into the faces of the kids in your class or kids' service - and... whoa! THEY GET IT!

You know what I'm talking about. It's that moment when there is a connection from the very words you are saying, the concept you are demonstrating - actually cutting thru the object lessons, songs, skits, video clips and cutting to the heart.

These are the wow moments that I live for in a children's church setting. It's the time when it's the best moment to lead right into a time of response. Whether it's a time of prayer, a worship song and come forward thing, etc.

Having one of these moments in your children's church setting is crucial - otherwise, you're just a really entertaining teacher....
