It’s time to open your mouth and sing… but you’re still nervous. And then, it’s time to put on the choir robe you’ve brought from home and walk to the front of the church with your friends. Once you’re at church, just getting through Sunday School is hard. Daddy says to “pick a spot in the church and sing to it like you do in the mirror.” Their words make you feel a tiny bit more confident. Mama says “the angels will shout in Heaven” when you sing. You’ll be looking extra-fine, you’ll have your hair in a beautiful crown, they all have good advice but still, you’re awfully nervous. It’s also fun when it’s done with someone else but singing alone in front of a microphone, in front of the whole church? That’s scary, even though everybody tells you it’ll be okay. Singing is fun, and it’s easy to practice when nobody’s around. It’s your favorite day of the week, especially when something like a solo in youth choir makes it even better. Sunday is the day your family sets aside for the Lord, which makes it pretty special because everybody puts on their best clothes, shines their shoes, and goes to church together. And in the new book “Early Sunday Morning” by Denene Millner, illustrated by Vanessa Brantley-Newton, some people get a dose of confidence. Church is also where people can go to pray. Each Sunday, your family has a routine they follow.Įveryone gets up early to the smells of a good breakfast that Mama makes she serves all your favorites before you go to church to raise your voice and praise God.
