The Visual Church Year
This is a resource intended to provide families and people of all ages with resources to help connect what we hear and learn in worship with what we believe and share in daily life. Studies show that most of us learn and retain information best in situations which include a visual or kinesthetic (hands-on) process. These free downloads are created by Visual Faith® Ministry to follow the Gospel readings of the LCMS lectionary and are meant to help adults and children better remember God’s spoken Word in worship and facilitate family faith conversations and life application throughout the week.
The half-sheet Worship Notes gives permission and provides space to all worshippers for personal notes or drawings, and includes an image to color as a bookmark or trace into a journal or journaling Bible. Worship Notes For Kids may be copied back to back to create a folded, four-page booklet meant to encourage worship participation for children of multiple ages, with a focus on engagement rather than busy work. Besides images to color, children are challenged to listen for and tally words from the readings, record prayer thoughts or questions, and reminded to greet people or bring a friend.
