Curriculum Review - Large Group/Small Group - Worship KidStyle from LifeWay!

Worship KidStyle is a Large Group/Small Group curriculum from LifeWay and while they designed it to provide a resource for Children's church, I believe it can also serve as a option for churches to consider as a Sunday School curriculum as well. Allow me to share with you some information about Worship KidStyle!

Would like to see - 

• Weekly "Live-it" activities to help children take what they learn out the doors of the church and live it in their everyday lives every day.
• Quarterly service projects to "Put Feet to Their Faith"
• All lessons written to intentionally engage children in the teaching of the Bible lesson with Bible dramas or other creative methods
• Optional second service.

Worship KidStyle is written with the goal of intentionally engaging children so they are able to remember, understand and live God's Word for genuinely changed lives. If you are looking for a Large Group/Small Group curriculum with a focus on worship, this curriculum is well worth taking a look at to see if it may be a good "fit" for your ministry! 

LifeWay says, "Worship KidStyle puts a whole new spin on kids’ worship. It lets kids worship like kids, with fun music videos with motions, cool arts and crafts, attention-holding, life-application videos, and more . . . we designed it just for kids!"
