Social distancing, sanitizing and mask-wearing quickly became \u201cthe norm\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Folks are slowly beginning to return, with one notable exception. Many families with young children still opt to take in the livestream service at home.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some are hesitant to venture out for health reasons. Others are waiting until children\u2019s programming (a whole different level of planning) becomes an option.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some parents are just overwhelmed with the thought of what it would mean to bring the kids back to church, of trying to occupy active little ones during a worship service.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s hard to be a parent with young kids in church, even at the best of times. Add in the extra stress of pandemic requirements, and staying home looks pretty good.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I clearly remember when I took my two young kids home early because I just couldn\u2019t handle another minute in the pew. I missed an entire service because I was handing out colouring books and crayons and goldfish and trying to keep the peace. I was near to tears, frustrated, and very close to losing it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #22b577;\"><strong>It\u2019s Okay<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parents with young children, you need to know that it\u2019s okay. It\u2019s okay to stay home and enjoy the livestreams and the Zoom calls. It\u2019s okay to delay your return until you\u2019re confident about health precautions. It&#8217;s okay to wait until children&#8217;s programs resume.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But it\u2019s also okay to bring kids back to church. It\u2019s okay to bring your little ones to the service, even if Johnny is fussing about his mask, or munching goldfish crackers, or whispering that he wants to go play the drums on the stage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You are demonstrating to your children that gathering with other believers is important.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(<em>Quick caveat<\/em>: we&#8217;re not talking here about overly disruptive behaviour that prohibits others from worshipping, but the &#8220;normal&#8221; noise one might expect from active little ones.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And if you aren\u2019t a parent with young children, and those little ones are waving at you from the next row over or poking their siblings? Extend grace, especially now. A smile, a kind word, an offer of help . . . these things go a long way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The anonymous note that one of my friends received in her church mailbox when her little guys were&nbsp; a bit noisy during a service, admonishing her to get them under control? Not helpful. If you want families to leave, that will do it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When we make it known to families that their children are loved and welcome in our midst, we demonstrate the heart of Jesus in a very real and tangible way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We might just end up being blessed, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #22b577;\"><strong>Little blessings<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A few years after my kids graduated from the \u201cbaby pews\u201d, I found myself sitting in the back row one Sunday, surrounded by a new group of young families.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During a song, two preschoolers began to dance in the aisle beside me. They weren\u2019t being loud, just expressive. It really was wonderful to watch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the song progressed, I shut my eyes and imagined us all standing in front of Jesus up in heaven, singing (and dancing!) for Him. Wonderful. Since my eyes were closed, I wasn\u2019t distracted by those around me. And those around me . . . big and little . . . were free to worship as they were led.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the end of the song, one of the little guys, who had been dancing joyfully just a moment before, looked up at me. With big shining eyes, he declared, \u201cJESUS!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wow. And amen to that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jesus Himself said, \u201cLet the little children come to me!\u201d I\u2019m guessing they didn\u2019t come quietly, but with all of the exuberance and joy that childhood brings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That is a blessing we don\u2019t want to miss.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #22b577;\">More Links:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/onehopecanada.ca\/fr\/three-ways-to-think-small\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Three Ways to Think Small<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: watch this Hope Blog video about re-aligning your focus to share the big news of Jesus with the kids in your life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cChurch services may not look and sound the way they used to, but that\u2019s okay.
