It was a very special learning experience I shall never forget. Prior to going to the General Assembly, I was aware of the issues currently facing our church, and day by day, I partook of the unfolding of one item after the other. I was amazed and grateful for the manner that our church shares with one another. Congregations are urged to work with children and youth in every aspect of the life of the church.
Children can serve as acolytes and usher.
They can greet people at the door, and take up the offering. Children and youth can read scripture and sing in the choir. Also, share their gifts of playing musical instruments. Some children and youth have interest in drama and making bulletin covers. There was no doubt that Presbyterians agree that good Christian Education for children and youth is very important.
