Children's ministry is very motivating for the church and child servants because it affects the growth of the child's faith. One of them is the ministry of evangelism. Evangelism is the message of salvation and judgment in Christ Jesus. Children aged 5 - 10 years do not usually understand and interpret themselves as "Christians" because they only follow what their parents do and do. = 'So it is necessary to teach through evangelism to these children. The question is how does a minister convey the "gospel" message to children so that it can be understood easily and what are the results of the ministry? This paper has two purposes. First, the servant understands the method or way of a servant to convey the "gospel" message simply. Second, so that children better understand the true meaning of the Bible. The research method used is qualitative by interviewing sources to examine and understand the attitudes, views, feelings and behavior of an individual or group of people and literature research to support this writing.

The family is an institution of God Himself (Genesis 2:18-25) aside from the church (Matthew 16:18) obtaining a glorious mandate through God's family to want the birth of Divine offspring (Malachi 2:15), which is a God-fearing and living in its prescribed streets. To achieve the above goal, a Christian Religious  Education of faith became something very important. But unfortunately there are Christian families who are unaware of this and are shifting this glorious mandate to the church through sunday school teachers or transferring it to school (through Christian religious teachers). The writer assesses this distraction on the one hand as a parent's misunderstanding of the mandate or on the other hand because of the parents' inability to handle it. The method the writer uses is a descriptive qualitative with a library approach. The writer tapped relevant resources from the bible, books and journals. Starting with a general understanding and juridis about the family, the Biblical basis of the family and its calling, the family's responsibility for Christian Religious Education and the danger of displacing the function of Christisn Religious Education on the third hand and the writer will eventually conclude that it is important to restore the family's function as a base of Christian Religious Education as well as to accord with scriptural values to be so effective in reaching the goal of bearing Divine offspring.

The research method is literature and then interaction with other related texts in the Bible and other Church Fathers.

Because the church is the body of Christ, research focused on the Great Commission and Jesus’ concern for evangelism and disciple-making needs to be church-based. The goal of such research is to better share God’s love to a world who does not know him by building up a collection of knowledge that will enable us to do so. This research may be both theological (focusing on what the Bible and other theologians have said) and scientific (focusing on collecting new data and interpreting it, especially in light of theology). Church-based scientific research may be either qualitative (exploring broad ideas and phenomena in a relatively subjective way) or quantitative (testing specific ideas by collecting data measuring the variables of interest as objectively as possible). The Great Commission Research Journal is an especially appropriate outlet for publishing such research.

In the world of teaching, it takes a variety of creativity, so that students benefit from the learning process. The same thing happened in the Sunday School class held by the church. The core material is certainly from the Bible. This includes memorizing Bible verses from certain parts. Students are required to memorize the verses. Many face failure in the memorization process. They have difficulty remembering the verses. However, there is still an interesting method to make it easier for children to memorize Bible verses, namely by association methods found in quantum learning. The problem is whether the Sunday school teachers understood this association method? With descriptive research methods have found a solution that in the process of memorizing with this association method, can increase the number of verses memorized. This can be shown from the results of evaluations that have been carried out, there is an increase in the number of memorized verses that can be memorized by Sunday school students, which increases to 20 words or about 4%.

This paper departs from the author's concern for the curriculum for adults in the church, that until now the curriculum has not been a particular concern for ministers and teachers in the church in adopting the curriculum as reviewed in this paper.  The purpose of writing this article is to encourage churches to pay attention to curricula for adults to mature church members into strong congregations in the faith. The method used is the library research method (library research or literature review) by examining the urgency of implementing the curriculum for adults. The analysis process carried out is to use various literary sources, both journals, books and other reliable reference materials to support the author's analysis. The results of this study found that there is significance in implementing the curriculum for adults with indicators, namely recognizing adult characteristics, the Bible as the basis of the curriculum, the foundation of the development of the Christian religious education curriculum and curriculum implementation strategies. Thus, the curriculum places a very strategic and urgent position in carrying out the learning process for adults in the church. Tulisan ini berangkat dari keprihatinan penulis terhadap kurikulum bagi orang dewasa dalam gereja, bahwa sampai saat ini kurikulum belum menjadi perhatian khusus bagi para pelayan dan pengajar di gereja dalam menerapkan kurikulum sebagaimana ulasan tulisan ini.

Hasil penelitian ini menemukan bahwa adanya signifikansi dalam menerapkan kurikulum bagi orang dewasa dengan indikator, yaitu mengenal karakteristik orang dewasa, Alkitab sebagai dasar kurikulum, landasan pengembangan kurikulum pendidikan agama Kristen dan strategi penerapan kurikulum. Dengan demikian bahwa kurikulum menempatkan posisi yang sangat strategi dan urgen dalam melaksanakan proses pembelajaran bagi orang dewasa dalam gereja.

ABSTRACTThe recent discovery of several fragments of an antiphoner in the Archive of the Cathedral of Sigüenza (Guadalajara) with repertoire for the feast of St James the Apostle sheds new light on the origin of the monophonic chants of the Codex Calixtinus. The dating of the fragments to c.1100 demonstrates the existence of an officium proprium prior to the writing of the famous Compostelan codex, a fact hitherto unknown. Part of the repertoire collected in the Sigüenza manuscript, particularly the antiphon Honorabilem eximii and the responsory Alme perpetue, evidence textual and melodic concordances with Calixtinus. Moreover, some chants in the Sigüenza Antiphoner, and not in Calixtinus, were widely known across the Iberian Peninsula before the Tridentine liturgical unification. This evidence suggests that the compilers of the monophonic Office in the Codex Calixtinus knew the version transmitted in the recently discovered fragments. The consequent remodelling of the St James Office was probably due to the fact that it incorporated many legendary elements. At the beginning of the twelfth century, the Church of Compostela was actively seeking to legitimise its apostolicity, which Rome seriously questioned. To do so, it was essential to offer a liturgical corpus of proven authority, based on the Bible and the patristic literature.

Worship is the function of the church in worshiping God so that understanding worship becomes the basis for our worship practice. This research will explore true worship according to the teachings of Jesus Christ in John 4:23-24. The deepening of this teaching will use the descriptive research method. Researchers will remove the true meaning of worship that Jesus meant in John 4:23-24 and also conduct a literature study to support this understanding more clearly. This study found three results from the exploration of true worship, namely true worship is sought by the Father, true worship is worshiping in spirit and truth and the purpose of true worship is for the glory of the Father.AbstrakIbadah merupakan fungsi gereja dalam menyembah kepada Allah sehingga pemahaman akan ibadah menjadi dasar praktek ibadah kita.
