Have you wondered how we are getting footprints on the wall? Well it isn't easy! As the children ask Jesus into their heart, we have them talk to their parents. If the parents agree that the child has truly decided to FOLLOW JESUS, we celebrate with their footprint on the wall. As we wash the paint off their foot we talk about how Jesus washed His disciples' feet. We tell them that they should find ways to serve others as Jesus did. Some start right then by washing the paint off from each others feet. It is also a good time to talk about the meaning of baptism. Those who are baptised will have a cross painted on their footprint.Monday, May 19, 2008

It was Mother's Day! What better way to celebrate than to invite the babies to come to "big" service. Children 3 and younger took a wagon ride that ended at the alter. They crawled out of the wagon, climbed on the stage steps, and took a walk down the ailse while Pastor Tim prayed for the children and their families. The "amens" sounded a bit different that Sunday. God understood. He has invited the children to come to Him.
