Worshipping God Every Day!
We worship God in church with songs of praise, but that is just one part of worship. Worship can happen anywhere and at any time, regardless of the circumstances of our lives. Worship can happen when we sing, when we pray, and when we show love to others. In Mic Drop 8-Week Children’s Ministry Curriculum, kids will learn that every day we can praise God in some way.

Sing a Song of Praise
Scripture: Psalm 150, Praise the Lord

Whenever And Wherever
Scripture: John 4:1-25, Jesus Talks With a Samaritan Woman
The Jews worshiped in the temple; the Samaritans worshiped on a particular mountain. The Samaritan woman wanted to know which way was best. Jesus revealed that true worship can happen wherever we are.

Step Up
Scripture: Luke 7:36-50, Jesus Anointed
In gratitude for who Jesus was, a woman came to him with an expensive jar of perfume and used it to anoint Jesus and wash his feet. This gift was her act of worship to Jesus. We can worship God with our actions as well. When we give our tithes to God or spend time helping someone we are worshipping God.
Objective: Kids will learn that we worship God with our actions.
With All My Might
Scripture: 2 Samuel 6:12-23, David Dances Before God
When the holy Ark of the Covenant came back to Jerusalem, King David was so full of joy, he could not contain it. He danced and worshiped God through the streets. David shows us that we worship God when we don’t worry about whether we look “cool” when worship, but we only focus on giving God glory.
Objective: Kids will learn that we worship God by not being embarrassed about what other people think of how much we love God.
In Good Times. . .
Scripture: Exodus 14:31-15:21, The Song of Moses and Miriam
God performed an amazing miracle when He parted the waters and saved the Israelites from Pharaoh's army. They were so overwhelmed by God's blessing that Moses and Miriam led them in praise and worship to their God.

. . . And in Bad Times
Scripture: Job 1, Job Loses Everything
In the course of one day, Job lost nearly everything he had, including his children. Even in these terrible times, Job still praised God. God is good, even when we don't understand why bad things happen.

Even When Others Don’t
Scripture: Acts 16:16-34, Paul and Silas in Prison
Paul and Silas had suffered many hardships on their journey, including imprisonment. Even from their jail cell, when they were surrounded by many people who didn’t know Jesus, the two men sang praises to God. Their worship of God helped other people see how good God is and ultimately the jailer and his whole family were saved.
Objective: Kids will learn that they can give God praise even when no one else does.
With Our Whole Life
Scripture: Romans 12:1-11, Living Sacrifice
The ultimate act of worship is to give our whole lives to God. The world says to do things one way; but when we do things God's way, we honor Him. Loving God, serving others, and setting ourselves apart for God, are all acts of worship pleasing to God.
Objective: Kids will learn what it means to worship God as living sacrifices.
