And for Dessert…

Check out this article: “20 Engaging Questions to Ask Kids at Church” which is good, not just for parents, but for all adults at church. Megan Hill writes:

“Even a simple question or two, asked with a smile, can teach a child that he or she is welcomed and valued in the congregation. When we do this, we model Christ who invited children, affirmed their importance to the kingdom, and commanded his disciples to make it easy for little ones to meet him.

On Sunday morning after church, ask a young child one of these questions. You can begin with one of the questions designed to simply get to know him or her and move toward one of the questions that engages his or her faith. Whatever you ask, it will probably be the start of a great conversation, and it might even awaken love for the church in the next generation.”

Read the whole thing.

Megan’s article corresponds with her book Meg Is Not Alone (in the new TGC Kids series) which you can check out of the church library. I hope your family eats it up.

Blessings,

Pastor Matt
