I am on a soap box this morning. My wife and myself have just finished a summer filled with children's ministry. We have directed a children's camp, did children's worship at a family camp and conducted a Vacation Bible School at a church. Thankfully we are both employed by a school district which gives us our summers off. I have pastored for 13 years with for of that being a children's pastor, currently I do not have an appointment, but I lead children's worship each Sunday I am home at my local church. Which has not been a lot this summer.
Here is my soap box: Why do church members think that real ministry doesn't take place with children? That children's ministry is baby sitting at the worse and at the best a great way to get new families in the church.
Why can't it be ministry just for ministry sake for children. Don't children need GOD?
