Featured Children's church, Sunday School and nurseries

So much better to let the wife stay at home with the infants until they are old enough to attend church - 8 years out of church shouldn't bother her too much. [/sarcasm]

If the church nursery is nasty and spreads sickness a problem exists that needs a solution!

Good. You are an exception.

Its common in churches in this area. Bring the babies to church and keep them in the sanctuary. The only complaints I have heard have been from families who moved membership to our church because the big church in town does not allow anyone under 13 in the worship service.

 

I wish people would stop talking in code.

 

You don't have "tools, quote, and reply"?
I access the site on 4 different android devices and its there on all of them. Just trying to help. Don't take it wrong.

 

that’s the code for my 2year old granddaughters favorite color and her favorite emoticon.

The church I attend has been trying to reach out to young families.
For the past years the number of young families has increased significantly.
As a consequence we have a large number of babies.
Two or three infants in the service isn’t unusual but can be distracting at times.
Any more and the pastor could probably repeat his sermon the following week and we’d not recognize it.

Nursery and Sunday School for youth are services that many families value.
If done well the lessons become foundational in a young persons development.

We have a nursery, a toddlers room and a 252 service for the kiddos.

Works fine.

 

...and once he was weaned she was so tired that she just left young Samuel at the Temple for the leaders to care for.

Nah,that wouldn’t work so well today.

A nursery is nice for nursing mothers.

 

I have pastored in two states in 4 churches. I doubt im an exception

 

According to a search, this is unicode for Pile of Poo, Smiling emoji, or Smiling Pile of Poo, which is used to convey dissatisfaction. All news to me!

 

If your nursery is truly sanitized and not just "cleaned", you are an exception. Every kid in the nursery at one of the big churches in a neighboring county got foot and mouth disease. A pediatrician in town that happened to be the Dr. For about a third of the kids figured it out.
Do you sanitize your toys? Books? Chairs (top and bottom)? Tables (top and bottom)? Shelves? All play structures? Balls? Floors? Babybeds (especially rails and slats)?

 

I laugh at the idea that that some how sending your child off with a person to play is somehow beneficial to them. Getting them used to the church, pastor, hearing the teachings of god is what it is about. I have talked many a as pastor that has said that one of the things that has hurt their church is children's programs.

Sure putting a kids in a class away from the church is a great way to have them bond with the church! (Not) Keep them in it till they are 18 like most big churches do and they will never come back. How about do like we do with everything we teach our kids? Have them start young? Do you think 100 years ago all these churches were packing their kids into classes away from the preaching? Damning them to hell if you ask me. My boys sit in the pews and say amen. My five year old can give the gospel.

Revmitchell do you go by Reverend? Just wondering what that is about.....also, you might have the first church that formally disinfects their nursery. Most never do and they are sick factories.
