I was glad when they said to me, ‘Let us go to the house of the Lord!’ – Psalm 122:1

Gathering with God’s church is the most important thing we do each week. In Why We Gather, Joey Tomlinson emphasizes the beauty and priority of corporate worship for young children. Through memorable rhymes and vivid illustrations this book tells children of God’s wonderful plan to nurture his people in the faith. It introduces theological concepts and words in a way that is easy for kids to understand and will foster good conversations about public worship. There are also pastoral encouragements for parents and pastors to consider the beauty of multi-generational worship.
