This was in the Reformed Forum Spring\/Summer 2025 Magazine. I had it in my hand months ago and been waiting to do a review on this until now. I have a digital copy so I will throw out the paper magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here's the summary:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marie Valle is wife of a pastor, Angelo of Christ Reformed Church PCA in Central Pennsylvania, with 4 children.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n She applies 5 senses<\/strong>: Sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch. In order to engage children in worship. I think this goes with adults as well. But this article is about the less disciplined ones, the children interrupt <\/strong>worship services because they need more sensory interaction<\/strong>, according to Valle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n God used the 5 senses (sort of) in the Tabernacle (Exodus 25-30) by making it tangible. Psalm 141 embodied this worship vividly: 1. Sounds<\/strong> of God's calling, 2. Smell<\/strong> of incense, 3. Feeling <\/strong>of raised hands, 4. Utterance <\/strong>of self-controlled words, 5. Gaze <\/strong>of fixed eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Suggested help for children in worship:<\/p>\n\n\n\n I would say though this doesn't go against parenting in the pews, it also does not discourage a separate children's church (that is, during adult's sermon session).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This was in the Reformed Forum Spring\/Summer 2025 Magazine.
