On the back of a youth ministry inservice, I've just flowed out of a week-long ordination intensive. In between, our church had an elders and leader's retreat. All in all, I've gained a head overflowing with input, three two-inch folders to read, an assignment due on Monday and a stack of blog post ideas.
Churches can think they have "arrived" once they posses the sacred cow of church existence. Playgroups.
Or, better yet, a kindergarten.
Today I heard about a church that had a kindy. But something was different.
They intentionally prayed for the kids who go to the kindy.
I don't know how attached the kindergarten was with the church, but I don;t think that should be the point.
I've known quite a few churches where the kids who flow through the gates of their kindergarten are little more than walking cash cows. Perhaps we need to remember that they are a fledgling ministry as well...
