On Oct. 2, 2012, Bev Bolsen had asked if anyone had a lesson plan for teaching children to worship (ages 6-10).  

Bev received several replies (which basically was a rehash of the above posts). Here was a new one from Ann Wright:  

We pulled one together based on several books. Since much is copyrighted from those books, I can't share the entire curriculum. One book we used a lot from is "Children Worship!" Maryjane Pierce Norton ISBN 978-0881772234. 

This was taught to second-graders during worship, following the children's sermon (about 40 minutes long). At the end of the year, they received a Bible from the church and helped with that day's worship service as ushers, liturgists, etc.

The list of lessons that we taught are: 
Lesson 1. What is Worship?
Lesson 2. Where Do We Worship?
Lesson 3. Preparation for a Worship Service
Lesson 4. Order of Worship
Lesson 5. Purpose of Music in Worship
Lesson 6. Using the Hymnal
