Do any of your churches still do a time during the service for the children to come forward for a special message directed to them? Do you have a separate worship (childrens’ church) for the younger children?
Please comment regarding which option your church offers if any and at what ages do they stay in the regular worship service.
2 Timothy 3: 14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, 15 and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
Mark 10: 13 People were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. 14 When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 15 I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” 16 And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them.
Proverbs 22: 6 Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.
