There was a crowd of kids in church yesterday. It was wonderful.
The carpet in the kids' area was full of small kids and parents.
It was so much easier to manage the behavior of my youngest because there were so many other kids around to keep things from getting too adult oriented and boring.
It was so much easier to manage the behavior of my oldest because sitting with me in a pew today made more sense than sprawling on the rug fighting over things with a younger sibling.
And I could start to imagine and feel what it might be like to have this kind of group of kids as a regular part of our Sunday morning worship and the Gethsemane community.
Welcome. Welcome back. And thank you.
