Response: 5 Reasons Children Should Be in The Main Service Regularly

Experiencing a local church that is almost like from the Church in the Book of Acts, even in the most unlikely places (Ch*na), is, well, the blessed experience ever.

I had a little friend who was 1.5 year-old. He sat quietly and attentively with his parents (sometimes), esp when his father (elder of the church) leads the message. They were teaching him already how to be in church since infancy.

"Train up a child the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6

I salute parents who join their children to worship, esp when the kids are "well-behaved".

I also grew up attending church with my parents for Sunday service. However, I had the freedom. I always made mischief running around the sanctuary, eating those communion flat bread chips after service, and always asking to go out to play. =P

Here are the 5 Reasons Children Should Be in The Main Service Regularly:

1. Children should not be removed from the main body for convenience sake. 
2. Children are a part of the Body of Christ.
3. Children need Godly examples of how to worship.
4. Children need to feel like they are a part of the church community.
5. Children who don’t feel like a part of the church community will leave church when they’re older.
