KREATIVITAS PEMBINA MINGGU GEMBIRA MELALUI LAGU DAN GERAK DI GEREJA KATOLIK

Abstract

Creativity through song and movement is one way for coaches to build the enthusiasm of Happy Sunday Children to come to Church. Education in children's faith from an early age is the responsibility of all parties, including the Happy Week supervisors. Happy Sunday children really need creative coaches, because they are very active and not silent and there is a fighting attitude in these children. Therefore they need lots of stories, games, songs and movements, lively singing, coloring and so on. Songs and movements are an important aspect to increase children's enthusiasm for joy in these activities. Coaches are more creative and have the intention of looking for materials and activities such as songs and movements that will make Sunday children happy and interested in coming to church. The data obtained by this scientific work was through field research with a qualitative approach, with a locus in the Catholic Church of the Archdiocese of Medan. It was found that cultivating the creativity of coaches was still lacking, due to the lack of knowledge and experience of coaches regarding creative activities and methods that were good and interesting for Happy Sunday Children. There is also a lack of support from parents and the entire community for the existing Happy Sunday Coaches.
