Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.’ (Matthew 19:14)\nDear Lord, we thank you for all the little children who are coming into our church this morning. We ask for your blessing upon them and their families. As they hear your message of love through listening to Bible stories, ignite in them a flame of love for you, which will never be extinguished. May our church be a place of joy, love, laughter and safety today. Amen.
