CHILDREN AT FAIRLINGTON


On Sunday

Worship is the most important thing that we do as a community of faith. Children are always welcome to be part of worship. If your young ones need more space to move around and play, you are invited to use the family room in the back of the balcony. Adults continue to engage in worship and kids have the freedom to be themselves.

People were bringing little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, 'Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.'
