Gleaning from Our Youth – What is Church About?
The pure perspective of kids can be ripe for gleaning insight. We asked our first and second graders as well as a member of JYF about why they go to church and what is FMC about, and here’s what they had to say. How do these answers compare to yours?
JYF:
Why go to church? To connect with God.
What’s this church about? Being in community and connecting to God.
Plus….
“I like that we have a children’s time for little kids who probably won’t be able to pay attention to the sermon. “
