Hi Jen and Debbie
I was meeting with Neil Marsh our cleaner this afternoon.
He told me what Milton Baptist church do during their sermons - they have an area at the front in between the congregation and the stage for kids. They lay out bean bags, cushions, rugs, craft, low tables, and they invite younger kids to hang out there during the service.
Now, Neil may not have described this accurately to me - I think he saw this on their church website - so we don't know the exact format.
But I thought it was worth discussing to see what you think of it as an idea.
Thank you for all you do
Chris
