What a great two weeks we
have had in our new rhythm on Sunday Mornings! We hope your children have enjoyed worshipping
together as much as we have enjoyed seeing & hearing them worship.
A friend forwarded me a
great article that encouraged me as a mom of young children. It also said very
well what we feel in Children’s Ministry – that we are beyond excited each week
to see your children come through the doors of Covenant!
We are so hopeful for all
the Lord has planned for their lives and find it pure joy to be a part of His work
in their lives.
Here is one small segment
from the article, and I hope it will encourage you to keep sharing the Word
& Worship with your precious children! What you are doing is GREAT!
Excerpt from Jami
Bruesehoff’s article “Dear Parents with Young Children in Church”
"When you are here, the church is filled with a joyful
noise. When you are here, the Body of Christ is more fully present. When you
are here, we are reminded that this worship thing we do isn't about Bible study
or personal, quiet contemplation but coming together to worship as a community
where all are welcome, where we share in the Word and Sacrament together. When
you are here, I have hope that these pews won't be empty in 10 years when your
kids are old enough to sit quietly and
behave in worship. I know that they are learning how and why we worship
now, before it's too late. They are learning that worship is important."
Thank you for sharing your
children with us each week during Sunday School & Children’s
Worship...their laughs, cries, songs, and footsteps are a joyful noise to us
& to Jesus!
