ES 109 | Coffee Connect | Children in Our Midst

Too many churches are missing the boisterous laughter, Joyful awe, and sometimes disruptive behavior of children. As congregations age, there is little worry of stains on the carpet, marks on the walls, or inappropriate behavior during the often solemn act of worship. Whatever happened to “of such is the kingdom of God?” The great news is that the kids are still there.  It’s just that “there” might not be in our pews.  Instead, they are in our neighborhoods and when we’re willing to listen to God and pay attention to where God is already at work great things can happen.  Join host Linda Booth, for a tale of three congregations, and see what can happen when we make space for God’s disruptions.
