Setting Up Worship Centers at Home

About Me

Setting Up Worship Centers at Home

The idea of setting up a place to worship at home is not new. Many people devote an area of the home for the purpose of creating sacred space. I found that it really was not that hard to do. My decision was to create a small chapel in the attic. My chapel included a worship center featuring religious art. I added chairs facing the altar, Christian Home decor that helped define the purpose of the space. I even added shelves to house my collection of rare out of print LDS books, Catholic stories, books from other Restoration traditions, and even study guides obtain from various Christian schools. If you like the idea of adding a worship center to the home, let me help. I'll explain how I selected elements, what went into setting up the space, and how I use it every day. Getting started is easier than you think.

Activities Kids Do At Christian Summer Camps

Christian summer camps provide a fun setting where Christian children spend time with other kids of the same faith. While at a camp, kids commonly participate in a combination of fun and religious activities. Here are some of the things your child may do if they go to one of these camps. 

Devotional Time

Many Christian camps begin each day with a devotional. This is typically a short period during which scripture is read, a comment is given on the scripture reading, and the leader prays. The purpose of a morning devotional is to set the tone for the day.

Bible Study

Bible study is a period of more in-depth scripture study, and it's typically done in smaller groups so that kids can comment and ask questions. Most camps give leaders a curriculum to guide the group through so that children all receive a similar and sound education.

Praise Time

Praise times primarily feature music, although a scripture reading and prayer can also be incorporated. The music played usually has vocals and is Christian in nature. Kids can sing along if they know the songs (many do), and Christian lyrics provide further instruction in the faith. 

Prayer Groups

Prayer groups meet with the express purpose of praying for one another's concerns. Concerns can be personal (e.g. family situations, individual growth), but they can also include larger issues that kids care about. Participants may pray for the camp, their churches, their communities, the world, or almost anything else.

Free Time

Free time gives kids an opportunity to relax with their camp friends and participate in their favorite activities. Kids might use this time to play games, hang out, and revisit favorite locations within the camp, but sometimes they also form informal Bible studies or prayer times.

Hiking Groups

Many Christian camps are located in semi-remote areas that provide opportunities for exploration. One of the mainstays of camps is exploring the surrounding nature by hiking. 

Hikes frequently vary in length and elevation change, ensuring that all kids in attendance can participate in a hike that's suited for their abilities and physical condition.

Tubing Chances

Many Christian camps are located on lakes and rivers, and water activities can have a large place in kids' activity choices. One of the most common water activities is tubing, where kids are towed behind a powerboat on an innertube. This is a favorite because it requires no specialized skill yet is thrilling.
