Then little children were being brought to him in order that he might lay his hands on them and

 pray. The disciples spoke sternly to those who brought them; but Jesus said, ‘Let the little

 children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven

 belongs.’ And he laid his hands on them and went on his way.

Matthew 19:13-15 

Children's Church

You see it listed in the bulletin almost every Sunday. After Rev. Nelson does his “Word with the Wise”, children from Kindergarten to Grade 2 are invited to join a group of adults for “Children’s Church.”

But—What is Children’s Church?       

First, this is what it is not; it’s not “babysitting”—the church provides that for our younger members.         

Children’s Church is just what it says—we try to teach the children all the parts of the regular service in a more relaxed setting. We go through a “mini” service where we sing, pray, learn the Lord’s Prayer, The Creed, and many other parts of the service, so the children may participate freely when they stay for church and communion of First Sundays. We also have a story time or “mini” sermon.

Then, we learn Bible verses, which become more difficult as the children grow. Here, they have a banner (or sash) on which they  earn pins and stickers, as they learn their verses.        

So please, take advantage of this opportunity—and lend us your children each 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Sunday!
