Family Day

This Sunday is family day at church. No nurseries, no Jungle Jam, and no Kids Church. Just like church was back in the 1800's (except that we are going to do all kinds of fun and crazy things for the kids in the service).

We have three purposes. One, to give some workers a break. Two, to help everyone see the value of every kids ministry helper. Three, to make time for families to pray together at the end of the service.

I know that this plan has some serious risks. However, if we all dive in together this can be one of the most meaningful services of the entire year!

Hey Paul that was how church was until the 1980's. Children's church was invented in the 1970's. The AoG thought it was stupid and most did not adopt it till 1979-1980. However stop took look at the biblical literacy who was better? The kids in 1980 or today? Maybe them old timers had a good idea and so do you. Family day is a great idea and a chance for the kids to learn wiht their parents. God bless
