The Harvest is Plentiful
Jesus said:
-
Let the little children come to me and do not try to stop them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. (Luke 18:17, NET).
-
The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest (Luke 10:2, NET).
Everyone likes to see children in church. Is there anything more delightful than seeing the children come into our worship following Sunday School and joining their parents for communion? From the scriptures, we know that there a couple of realities: Jesus wants children to come to him and it takes work to make children’s ministry happen.
I hope and pray that, come the Fall, two things will be true of St Francis. First, I want to see a vibrant Sunday School, an enriching ministry to our children. Second, I would like to see a return of young people to our acolyte ministry.
We want to see our children come to Jesus and we know we need workers to make this happen. If you would like to know how you can help our Sunday School ministry, please speak with
Kristina Pelá. If you have a middle school or high school student interested in serving as an acolyte, see me, Father Jerry.
And one more thing about our ministry to children – we want them all to be safe. That is why we are updating our Safe Church training to make sure that God’s precious children are protected.
So, I challenge of you to pray about what you might do to help our ministry to children thrive.
