Service Roles & Instructions

Guidelines for Praise Leaders, Activity Leaders, Helpers, and Service Plan Leaders

Praise Leader

The parent and child scheduled will lead us in singing on Sunday.

Practice the opening and response songs with your child. Help them feel confident and joyful.
Watch the music video links in advance so you are familiar with the lyrics, motions, and transitions.

Coordinate with the Activity Leader to:
- Turn on the TV and computer.
- Ensure the correct volume and video links are ready in full screen.
Sign in your child using the QR code.

Greet the children warmly. Introduce yourself (e.g., “I’m Uncle Jason”) and your child.
Invite all children to stand up for singing.
Play the music videos one at a time. Guide the kids with hand motions or claps if comfortable.
After the second song, invite the kids to sit down and transition to the Activity Leader.

You are the main guide for the worship service — leading prayer, storytelling, crafts, games, and more.

Review the service plan and script (e.g., “Righteous” plan).
Prepare materials:
- Bible story props
- Craft supplies (e.g., glue, crayons, puzzles)
- Game setup (e.g., “Right” and “Wrong” signs, scenario cards)
You may contact Sinnie for help — materials are already simplified for easy prep.

Collect snacks from the cabinet at the church kitchen.
Turn on the TV and computer (ask Thian-Peng for the code if needed).
Open the following browser tabs on Google Chrome (bookmarked):
- Service Plan: Children Worship Plans
- Attendance Sign-in: Sign-in Page
Set up the offering box and music stand.

After the pastor dismisses the children:
- Ensure each child is checked in by a parent (QR code).
Invite the Praise Leader to lead two songs.
Lead the rest of the service by following the script step-by-step:
- Prayer and Offering
- Review Last Week’s Verse
- Bible Story (Intro, Storytelling, Wrap-up & Discussion)
- Craft (e.g., decorate the “R” for Righteous)
- Game (e.g., Right or Wrong Relay)
Invite the Praise Leader back to lead the Response Song.
Lead the Closing Prayer and Snack Time.
Ensure parents sign out their children at the end.

Count the offering.
Use an offering envelope from the foyer:
- Label it “Children Worship Service”
- Write the total amount
Drop it in the main offering box in the foyer.

You support the Activity Leader by helping with logistics, attention management, and transitions.

Assist the Activity Leader in:
- Setting up materials (e.g., craft tables, game areas)
- Preparing snacks and ensuring cups/napkins are ready
- Turning on equipment and checking sound levels

Help children stay focused and gently guide them during transitions.
Assist with:
- Distributing craft materials
- Running the game (e.g., “Right or Wrong”)
- Serving snacks
Help with child pick-up by reminding children to wait for their parent’s sign-out.

You prepare the weekly Children Worship Service Plan using the ABCs of God curriculum.
