Use this adorable sermon notebook for kids to encourage your children to take sermon notes — kids style! Your children in church will love these.


Sermon Notes for Kids 


My husband and I have long valued having our children in church with us. Children are so capable of learning more than we think during worship, and attending worship becomes a part of their understanding of Christian life.

From about the age of three on, our kids sat with us during the service (though sometimes they actually sat upside down with their feet in the air or laid under the pew…it was a progressive training). When we first started bringing our elementary aged older two kids to church with us, we didn’t bring anything for them to do with their hands. We didn’t provide a sermon notebook, a coloring book, or anything that would have allowed them to use their hands while they listened to the pastor. I think that was a mistake.

Over the past two decades, my understanding of children’s development, the skill of notebooking, and my experience with having children in church has changed and grown.

My Sermon Notebook for Kids ~ 52 weeks of sermon notes for kids! Directed notebooking, along with coloring, mazes, and word searches.
Today, I think it’s important for kids to have a way to take sermon notes, as well as quiet activities as they’re learning. Our younger two children have taken sermon notes for years–in pictures and sometimes in transliterated Greek–and it’s been a valuable activity that has allowed them to focus on the worship service.

Printing Your My Sermon Notebook 

    • Sometimes readers are concerned about using colored ink. If this is the case for you, there should be a setting on your printer that allows you to print in black and white. Printing in grayscale will still use some color, but it will come out prettier than black and white.
    • Print the My Sermon Notebook duplexed (double-sided) and have them flip on the long side.
    • I recommend printing the My Sermon Notebook on white cardstock so the pages will be more durable with no bleed-through. This is my very favorite cardstock: Neenah Premium Cardstock.
    • There are several ways to store and use your sermon notes pages:
      • Three-hole punch the pages and store them in a notebook.
      • Spiral bind your notebook.
        • This is my favorite way to store notebooking journals. I take mine to the local office store. I wish I had invested in a coil binder years ago. It would have paid for itself many times over.
      • If you’ve purchased a classroom license, print a new set for each child every week for them to use in Sunday School or the sermon. They can take their weekly set home. (If you are serving more than a standard sized classroom, or have an unusually small number of children, contact me for leveled pricing.)

Taking Sermon Notes for Kids

My Sermon Notebook for Kids ~ 52 weeks of sermon notes for kids! Directed notebooking, along with coloring, mazes, and word searches.
Your child can take sermon notes in pen, pencil, pictures, full sentences, phrases, transliterated Greek, Elvish…

The point is that your child is:

  • Listening to the sermon
  • Learning to take notes
  • Identifying what kind of sermon notes to take
  • Busy with a hands-on activity that pertains to the family worship activity in church
  • Thinking about the sermon and worship
  • Engaging in an adult activity at a child’s level

With consistent sermon notes prompts each week, your child will learn to apply a structure to their notetaking they can maintain and expand upon as an adult.


Weekly Activities

My Sermon Notebook for Kids ~ 52 weeks of sermon notes for kids! Directed notebooking, along with coloring, mazes, and word searches.
Your child may wish to do a fun activity during the announcements or after taking sermon notes. Each week of the My Sermon Notebook includes either a maze, a coloring scene, or a fun Bible-related word search.

These activities will help children occupy their hands and will become something they enjoy and look forward to.

You want your kids to learn and love the Bible. 

You want to teach the Bible…

As parents, we deeply desire the best for our kids. We look for the right schools, we make them eat right and exercise, and we get them involved in extracurricular activities. We take our job as parents seriously.

But are we also putting our time and energy into
teaching them the Bible? Giving them the life-changing, soul-nourishing words of Scripture is not only doable, it’s an essential part of parenting kids for Jesus. And the good news is, studying God’s Word as a family doesn’t have to be difficult!

2 Timothy 2:15, ESV, says:

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved,
a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

Our job, as parents who love Jesus, is to help our kids become approved workers, unashamed and rightly handling the word of truth.

The good news? Teaching the Bible isn’t hard. Your family can learn the Bible together.

…and you can!
