Where Do I Start?

How do I Prepare Children to use My Sermon Notes? 

Help create a sense of ownership over what they are starting to learn to do. They may see you taking sermon notes, but now they can say these are "my sermon notes!" In the download for the printouts, you will see 'How to Use My Sermon Notes'. Once you understand each section, you can then give your child some direction, and let them take off! 

What Do I need to Start?

Once you download and print My Sermon Notes, grab a clipboard, and some writing utensils and your child is ready to go!

So that each child can fill out their My Sermon Notes paper in a fun and clear way, use 5 to 8 different colors of colored pencils or crayons, along with a pencil or pen. 

Getting the Most out of My Sermon Notes

My Sermon Notes includes a 'How to Use' document with instructions on helping your child start learning how to use My Sermon Notes. Navigate to the 'Download' page and scroll all the way down for a free sample download!

To get the most out of your child's My Sermon Notes, take the time to follow up on what your child colored or wrote. This will help solidify what they heard. Following up will also help you know how to better support your child and help them understand more about what they are doing and why.

Re-read some of the bible passages that they wrote down, or if they are younger re-read the sermon text, and talk about it!

Each part of My Sermon Notes is designed to help with turning a child's focus and attention back onto what is being said in the sermon.  Use each section as a way to discuss what they heard from God's word, and answer any questions that they may have.
