There was a young wife, mom of 20 month old, and a step mom to a twelve year old in my office yesterday, while working on some things for her we were having some casually conversation and she was talking about their experience with a new church that they had visited last Sunday and she said a lady came up to her after the service and said " you know we have another service for you and the children". This young mom immediately made up her mind well we will find a another church for next week. She said I am sure that she did not want it to come across or sound the way that it did. She then went on to sayto herself that we will just go somewhere else.
The point is we need to be careful how and what we say. Because that one simple statement made that mom feel unwelcome and she said that she would not go back. Everyone needs a place to worship no matter how young or old. This precious little girl can not go to church with out her Mom and her mom with out her.
This family also needs your prayers she is going through some hard times and things are starting slowly but surely to make a change. The thing is she has and keeps on pushing even when she is push down or backwards each time. She just needs our prayers that she will continue to have the strength to continue this and that she will continue to see what God is doing for her and her family.

i agree. some people (including myself) sometimes come across the wrong way with things. people do need a place to worship--a loving and caring place at that. that's why i am so thankful that i was brought to our church. i just wish i could be there every week.
