Abstract

Sunday school is a Bible study activity for Christian children held on Sundays. In Sunday school, children not only learn about the Word of God, but children are also taught to sing, pray and play games related to the growth of children's faith. In delivering the story the Sunday school teacher must also prepare games and praise related to the story of God's word that will be delivered. The purpose of this service is to shape the spirit of learning of children in the Sunday School of the Indonesian Christian Congregation of the Royal Family of Salatiga. The service method used is games and singing which is applied by the mentor of the JKI Keluarga Kerajaan children's church to increase the enthusiasm and insight of children in attending Sunday school worship. With games and praise, the children will not feel bored but rather increase the children's enthusiasm for learning the truth of God's word.
