Then people brought little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked them. Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." (Matthew 19:13-14)
Dear St. Paul's,
Repeat after me, "Kids, children, and youth... Kids, children, youth..." Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them." In order for us to attract children and young families to St. Paul's, we need to have the same love for kids that Jesus has.

The Lord has blessed us even now with perhaps 4-5 young families with school age children, but sadly some of them do not come to church because we have no
