We talk about kids being the church of tomorrow, and yes, that is true.
But they are also the church of today.
And it's time we start giving kids more opportunities to serve at church and in the community. For way too long, we've told kids to sit still and be quiet in church. Then we wonder why, when they grow up, they are sitting on a church pew and not making an impact for God's kingdom. It's because we told them to sit still and be quiet. Habits formed early in life tend to transition into adulthood.
