There are varying opinions on children and their ability to worship. Some churches aim for frequent all-age services as their way of encouraging children to encounter God, while others rely mainly on the groups that the children attend during the service. In All-age Everything Nick Harding looks at the debate surrounding all-age worship and the struggles involved in planning such services.

All-age Everything is a book in three parts:

Theory

The theory behind all-age wor?ship is explored, with guid?ance on how to deliver it well and what formats and orders of service work most effectively.

Practical

A wealth of ideas are given in what to use in all-age worship including prayers, talks, illus?tra?tions and suggested approaches.

Resources

Books, resources and agencies who may be of help are listed. Photocopiable templates based on the sample worship outlines are provided to help you plan your services.

Like all areas of ministry, with all-age worship there are barriers to be faced, mistakes to be made and lessons to be learned; but if the result is one child or adult who has learned to worship God in an all-age setting then it will be worth the effort. This is your book - use it in whatever way is effective for you!
