Storytime: Let The Kids Come

How did you get to church this morning? (Pause for responses.)

I imagine most of you came with your parents. Perhaps others came with grandparents. Some children may have come with aunts, cousins, or an older brother. Maybe a Sunday school teacher or friend brought you to church. One thing I’m pretty sure of is that unless you live close enough to walk to church, someone had to bring you here. I don't think any of you are old enough to drive your own car, are you? (Pause.) I didn't think so!

It’s great that someone cared enough about you to bring you to church today. That tells me the person wanted to make sure you would learn about Jesus and His love for you.

Read Mark 10: 13-16

What do you think about the disciples trying to make the children leave?

Let’s always remember how Jesus loved the children and took them into His loving arms. We‘re thankful for each of you here today and thankful someone loved you enough to bring you.
