The normal
pattern for our services is for the children to be present at the start of
worship and then leave for “Supertroopers,” our Sunday school. When there is
Communion, they rejoin their parents and come with them to the communion rail,
where they receive a blessing.
Just before the
end of the service, they are usually given the opportunity to show the rest of
the congregation what they have been learning. This last Sunday they had been
learning how Jesus went up the mountain with his disciples, who saw Moses and
Elijah with Jesus and heard God the Father say: “‘This is my Son, whom I love.
Listen to him!’
Not only had the
children obviously been listening well, as they could recount the story in
detail, but they had made an intricate model of it. Our thanks are due to Derek
Bowering and his team for the way that they inspire our children.
