A Question of COLOR

Does color help?

Why are we painting the rooms used for the children’s ministry such bright colors?  Colorfully learning environments have been proven to have the following effects:

·        Stimulating (creates a better learning environment)

·        Helps children pay attention longer

·        Cheerful colors promote better moods

·        Reinforces Biblical lessons through Biblical themes

·        Keeps the room/ walls current and clean

A dark dingy room sends an unspoken message to parents: “If they do not take the time to do the basics then why would they take the time with my child?”

Facts on Gen X

Generation X parents are very concerned about cleanliness and demand the best care for their children.  They expect programs to be top-notch and demand a high level of professionalism.  By meeting these immediate needs for the care of their children we can meet their long-term needs of maintaining/ nurturing faith in Christ.

The second benefit is by allowing their children to attend functions associated with church they will strengthen their relationship with a living God who sent his only son, Jesus.  This will also strengthen relationships in families and provide good Christian friends to accompany their children through the turbulence of adolescents.
