Stories Matter: Let the Children Come to Me

There is a treasured story in scripture where children are being children around Jesus. Some adults see it as distracting, disrespectful, and bothersome around someone so holy as Jesus. Except Jesus doesn’t reprimand the children, he reprimands the adults! He tells the adults they have much to learn about the kingdom of God from children, and he embraces and blesses them. Our interactive family services are a way for us to embrace and bless the children among us by making sure they are full participants in the whole life of the church.
