Power Praise
by Layne Coco

You’ve seen the shirts, you’ve heard the plug, the kids are all talking about it, so what is it?  Power Praise is a high-energy praise and worship time for kindergarten through 6^th grade kids.  They sing, shout, dance, and learn.  Each Power Praise is jammed packed with new songs, life applications, Bible games, and fun! 

Power Praise was born one late night, when a concept came to me.  It was a combination of ideas from a children’s ministry conference I attended and many conversations with Anne-Marie Rogers and other friends involved in our children’s ministry.  My desire for Power Praise is to show kids that loving and worshipping God can be fun, meaningful, and relevant to their everyday lives. 

Why do we need Power Praise?  Our children are easily influenced, whether positive or negative, by many different means such as television, music, school, friends, etc.  We wanted to influence GCR kids in a positive way through Christian music and good, clean fun.   It’s been thrilling for parents to hear their children singing praise and worship songs in the backyard, shower, or around the house, rather than the more negative alternatives.  Power Praise songs are reaching the hearts and minds of our young children and they are living out the words in their daily lives.  Come join us for the next Power Praise Wednesday, October 7, and see what all the excitement is about!
