Here in Kindersley we do “kids” with different approaches.
The church is not the only place where children are considered precious. In fact, our surrounding community has always had a great concern for their own.
Recently the schools tried a new approach to provide parental training. They have combined this with a meal and fun for the children. Meanwhile parents have practical training sessions. These are called Family & School Together (F&ST) sessions.
For the past three years our elders board at our church has volunteered. This means we help serve a meal, we set up tables, we talk to people. And we are not in charge, we are just there to say, “How can we help?”
Sometimes the most Christian thing we can do is to say just that — “How can we help?” I seem to remember this idea that we are to love our neighbours. Perhaps the place to start is serving.
