Here are five reasons why they are important in any worship service:
· Children are apart of the family of God, and we share responsibility for nurturing their spiritual needs. We embraced this role at their baby dedication and baptism.
· Children add richness to the community. They will thrive with our loving acceptance of them as partners in the faith of Jesus Christ.
· Children bring a new perspective to old traditions, and their presence is vital for church growth.
· Children bring joy, love, and show the adults how to truly worship God (Matt. 18:3-4). They have genuine hearts, and adults must change and become more like them.
· Children learn about God and His kingdom through worshiping together as a family. It is through worship experience that children can come to know God and not just know about Him.
Adults get the privilege to share with their children the traditions for praising and worshiping in their hearts toward God. What a honor?
