I Like Going to Church!
Purpose and Preparation:
Going to Church every Sunday is a great way to refill your spirit and recharge for the upcoming week! Instilling a love for going to church at a young age will be such a great blessing for them later in their life.
"Attending our Church meetings can help us to become more obedient to the Lord’s commandments. Church meetings help enlarge our talents, increase our knowledge of gospel doctrines and principles, and develop greater faith and testimony. They strengthen our ties with friends and neighbors who will support us in living righteously. They draw us closer to our Father in Heaven and Jesus our Savior. They help us to have the Lord’s Spirit." ~ Basic Manual for Women A
Things to do to prepare:

Activity: Nursery!
Nursery is fun! If you know the schedule of your nursery go through it with your child, talk about the different things you do in nursery. Talk about the friends they play with, and the toys they like. Ask your child what they did in nursery - what their favorite part is. Talk about having a snack, and learning about Jesus! Talk about it excitedly, make church a fun thing to do every week and it will soon become something they love doing!
