Our church just brought a children's pastor on board this summer and he is raising expectations for all the kids. We no longer have just "childcare", we have children's worship and large group assembly and small group discussions. We also have an hour where the kids are led through stations of crafts, songs, lessons, and scripture memory (there might be more, but I forget). It has been a pretty big undertaking to get all this going as right now we are a mobile church - meeting in a high school with only the gym for the kiddos. And I felt like my boys were young to be participating, but LOVE the first "artwork" they brought home, of course... It was about Abraham's descendents being numerous as the stars and they just stuck star stickers on the page (but Jordan lined his up like a rainbow across the page). AND they have totally learned the scriptures! Unfortunately, they're a bit timid (I guess that's what they got from me) and won't actually say the verses when they are supposed to during Bible study hour. But they will do the motions. But we say them every night before bed after we say prayers, so we know they can do it. so here is the proof!! I apologize if you can't understand their words... they are only 2, after all. But here is John 3:16 ~ For God so loved the world that he gave his only son that whoever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life; and Genesis 1:1 ~ In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
