A MESSAGE TO OUR FAMILIES
​
To parents of young children:
May we suggest...Relax! God put the Wiggle in children, don't feel you have to suppress it in God's house. ALL ARE WELCOME! Sit towards the front where it is easier for the little ones to see what's going on. They tire of seeing the backs of heads. Explain the parts of the service and actions of the minister, lay readers, musicians, communion assistants, etc. Sing the hymns, pray, and voice the responses. Children learn liturgical behavior by copying you. If you have to leave the service with your child, feel free, but please come back. Jesus said, "Let the children come to me." Remember that the way we welcome children into church directly affects the way they respond to the Church, to God, and to one another. Let them know that they are at home in this house of worship.
To the members of Zion:
The presence of children is a gift to the Church and they are a reminder that our congregation is growing. Please welcome our children and give a smile of encouragement to their parents.
​
To the children:
WE'RE GLAD YOU'RE HERE!
