One church that my husband and I attended did not try to reach children in the community...they had not changed anything in the nursery or children's classes for years. Their reason was that there weren't enough children or babies to make these changes. But when visitors came; they saw the lack of concern for the children as the rooms had broken toys, inappropriate age toys for infants and toddlers and just one crib which was broken and full of old toys. Money was not their problem, but they lacked to do anything that would make people feel welcome. The pastor wife's reasoning was that if people want to come just for what they can get from the church, then they truly are not seeking God? The church has not grown and has only diminished to a hand full of people. So sad to see a church that does not see beyond today.<br />Diana Aranda-Curtisnoreply@blogger.com
