Check out this paragraph of Dennis Bratcher's essay "The Seasons of the Church Year":
Many churches have relied almost solely on the spoken word to carry the burden of proclamation. However, even in the Old Testament the services of worship involved all of the senses: sight, smell, taste, touch, as well as hearing. Modern learning theory also indicates that the more senses are involved in an experience, the more impact it makes, especially for children.
I'm not the only one who thinks the theatrical nature of the church year makes it a great way to proclaim the gospel to children!
peace of Christ to you,
Jessica
