The Impact of Church on Children
My dentist is a member of my church. One of his employees has been considering coming to our church. She has no relationship with the Lord. She and her husband haven't been to church since they got married, and they're quite skeptical of Christianity. Last month they came to our Christmas Eve service bringing, for the first time in their lives, their six-year-old and two-year-old daughters.
Later as they were watching the evening news, they saw a feature on our church's Christmas Eve service. As soon as she saw it, the six-year-old daughter said, "Look, Mommy, there's our church." The impact you can have on kids, and the impact they in turn can have on their parents, is immeasurable.
