The Real Gift

As a worshipper and secondary announcement-maker and pray-er for the White Gift Sevices, I came to the realization that one unmentioned gifts is the fact the children have been given leadership and a place in the church.

If we really believe there is a future for the church, we need to embrace this notion that the church space belongs to the kids. What difference does it really make if the worship service had some snags and imperfections? (Honestly, what Sunday service doesn't have its miscues?)

How freeing it must have been to have permission to make noise in church or run down the aisle like a thundering angel or to preside from the pulpit!

My congratulations and thanks to the Sunday Schools for a job well done and worship services that remind us of why we make all this fuss every year at Christmas.
