AT HOME AT CHURCH

Recently I was reminded of just how exciting it was to go to school in the evening as a child.  I also remember when my students would come to school at night for a special program.  There was always an air of anticipation and downright giddiness.  I’ve seen that same excitement here at Good Shepherd several times during the past two months.  Pageant rehearsals, Christmas School and the Talent Show brought lots of our children to church at a time when they usually don’t come.  Attending the different events brings a high energy level and excitement; and it’s also a time when it’s easy to identify those children who feel at-home at Good Shepherd.  They demonstrate a comfort level and confidence well beyond their years.  Jesus meant a lot of different things when he told the disciples to let the children come to him.  I’m sure encouraging them to come to church often and feeling at-home in God’s House would rank near top
