The thirty children who came and were a part of our Day Camp left feeling good about Christ church and the faith activities they experienced. What a wonderful week, volunteers, kids and the Spirit of God swirling around our church.
As a congregation, we have the responsibility to care for the spiritual lives of children. At the nine or so Baptisms we've done this year, the congregation promises along with the parents to provide for the spiritual development of this child. I take that seriously. I think that is what church is about, the spiritual development of our members. Giving children a positive experience in a house of worship is how a lifelong relationship develops. With Sunday School, Day Camp, Vacation Bible School and activities like Christ's Kinds, we live out the command of Jesus to bring the little ones to him.
