Decorating: Sanctuary (Opening & Closing) – Maker Fun Factory
We use our sanctuary for opening and closing every year. All of the kids {even the preschoolers} are in both opening and closing. We spend about 15 minutes each in opening and closing.
Opening usually consists of:
-Welcome
-Music
-Skit
-Daily bible point intro {by the director}
-Announcements
-Prayer {usually by the director}
Closing usually consists of:
-Music
-Daily summary {director asks a few kids to share the bible verse, bible point, etc.}
-Daily totals {attendance and offering}
-Announcements
-Prayer {usually by a child who volunteers}
