What is

KidzPraise! is the Workshop Rotation program for children in grades one through five during the Sunday School hour at Hudson Memorial.

The Workshop Rotation method is a different approach from traditional Sunday School. Traditional Sunday School teaches using the "sit and listen" method. Rotation workshops change this to "learning by doing."

The same Bible story or concept is taught in the workshops over five weeks. Each Sunday, the groups of children rotate to a new workshop. Kids love the repetition and need it to remember their lessons.

Because each of the workshop leaders teaches through a different style of learning, the kids don't get bored. Instead, this multiple-intelligence approach enhances the learning process. Children come to know God through a variety of ways.

For God's word to become part of our children's lives,
it must not just be heard or read, but also experienced.

Each Sunday morning at 10:00 the KidzPraise children gather with their Shepherd in Geneva Hall. This is a time together for singing, prayer and bringing our offering to God. Geneva Hall is a place to be united as Hudson Memorial kids.

The children then adjourn to their workshop for the remainder of the hour.

KidzPraise! workshops create opportunities to learn by doing. A goal is to ensure familiarity with the key Bible stories and Bible memory verses. The curriculum also incorporates critical thinking skills in the lessons.

The lesson plan provides links from the Bible to the present, making the Bible applicable to children's lives. Children need to learn that the Bible is vital to the way they live their lives. Our mission is to shape children into active Christians who live the Bible rather than just know it.
