저희 유초등부는 매주일 K-5학년 학생들과 모여 하나님께 마음과 정성을 다해 예배를 드리고 말씀을 배우며 삶 속에서 하나님을 더욱 사랑하고 이웃을 사랑하며 함께 자라나는 곳입니다.
저희 교회 비전센터에 들어오시면 왼쪽 벽에 역대하 7장 성경구절이 적혀있습니다. 솔로몬이 성전을 지은 후, 기도하였을때 여호와께서 에게 나타나셔서 하신 말씀입니다.
“내가 이미 네 기도를 듣고 이 곳을 택하여 내게 제사하는 성전을 삼았으니 내 이름으로 일컫는 내 백성이 그들의 악한 길에서 떠나 스스로 낮추고 기도하여 내 얼굴을 찾으면 내가 하늘에서 듣고 그들의 죄를 사하고 그들의 땅을 고칠지라 이제 이 곳에서 하는 기도에 내가 눈을 들고 귀를 기울이리니이는 내가 이미 이 성전을 택하고 거룩하게 하여 내 이름을 여기에 영원히 있게 하였음이라 내 눈과 내 마음이 항상 여기에 있으리라” 이 말씀처럼 저희 아이들이 어린나이일 때부터 하나님을 찾고 기도하며 죄를 회개하고 우리의 죄를 용서하시고 생명을 주신 예수님께 감사드리고 남은 삶 속에서 성령님을 의지하여 말씀에 순종하며 하나님 안에서 목적과 꿈을 찾아 주신 달란트를 하나님 나라를 위해 살아 세상의 빛과 소금이 되길 기도합니다.

Kids Blog-True Worship
This week, kids learned that God created us to worship Him with all our heart.
Bible Story: Jesus talks with a Samaritan woman, John 4
Bible Verse: God is spirit, and his worshippers must worship in the Spirit and in truth. John 4:24
In John 4, Jesus came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, Jacob's well was there. Jesus was tired from the journey, sat by the well. A Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, "Will you give me a drink?" The Samaritan woman said to him, "You're a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?" Jesus answered, "If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water." Jesus also said, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life." As their conversation continued, the Samaritan woman realized that Jesus had profound wisdom and knowledge and asked,"I can see that you are a prophet. Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem." Jesus replied, "believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem...a time is coming and has now come when the true worshippers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth."
The Samaritan woman wanted to know, "Should I worship on this mountain or in Jerusalem?" Sometimes, we ask similar questions. What is worship? Should I have my hands raised when I am worshipping? Do I need to sing really loud so God can hear when I praise? Should I close my eyes when I am worshipping? What should I wear when I go to church? Do I need to use complex and advanced vocabulary when I pray to God? Jesus kindly replied and revealed that it is not really about where they worship, but God seeks those who worship Him in the Spirit and in truth. When we think about worship, if we are not careful, we may become fixated on things that is not at the center of God's heart. This week, let's think about worship and pray that God will give us understanding and His power to worship Him with all our heart. What does it mean to worship Him in the Spirit and in Truth? Truth is found in God's Word. So how do we align our lives with God's Truth? What are some ways we can worship Him with all our heart today and every day at home? How can we be truthful and honest in the way we worship Him? Think about daily activities we do, places we visit, and family members we spend time with daily. As we worship God this week, let's thank Him for creating us, protecting us, forgiving us, healing us, comforting us, loving us, and for everything He does.
