Gratitude Challenge 2011 Day One: Family Sunday Worship

Well, as seen in my previous post,

I am a tad behind on my blogging,

but, when it comes to the

Gratitude Challenge 2011,

I am SO READY to get started...

*************************************

I have so much to be grateful for,

but what lies freshly on my heart

happened this past Sunday morning.

At our church, 

we have a separate Children's Worship time

which occurs simultaneously as the

adult worship hour.

We on the Children's Ministry Team 

have recently been convicted to encourage

FAMILIES more through the

Children's Ministry.

We want families to be the PRIMARY source

in which children get their 

Spiritual education,

with Children's Ministry being a 

support system for families.

So, in an effort to bring families together

in this matter,

the Children's Ministry...

...took over "big" church!

It was an AWESOME experience,

and I am so glad I got to be a part of it!

**********************************************

From the moment the adults walked into the church,

the kiddos' were ready...

...to greet them with the morning's bulletin. 

The foyer and sanctuary were decorated...

 ...with all kinds of art work...

...which the kiddos' had made...

...to honor God.

The kiddos led every aspect of the service...

...from worship...

...to communion.

I loved looking out into the crowd and seeing...

 

 ...the adults worshiping with their kiddos.

Also, whose day wouldn't be better...

..after seeing all those sweet, smiling faces?

Oh yes...

...I am grateful for Family Sunday Worship!
