Music Ministry
Today was music ministry day at our new church, Morrow Memorial. We decided to bring Colin to the service rather than put him into childcare since we figured he might like to hear the music. There were 2 children’s choirs, children’s bells and children’s chimes. Oh and a teen choir all before the children’s time. Colin really did enjoy it but he managed to be a comedian a few times. During one of the hyms he kept saying quite loudly “why is it so loud?”
After the choir or chimes or bells would finish everyone would clap and Colin really enjoyed joining in on the clapping. So much so he decided one of the performances deserved a loud “Woo hooooo.”
After the children’s time we decided to go ahead and bring him down to child care. Before we headed there we wanted to let dad know at the back of the church what we were doing so we walked back to him and he said quite loudly “Dad, we are going to go”. He amused several members of the congregation and made his parents blush.
remember, your children are always more annoying to you than they are to the people around you. they all probably thought he was adorable.
or were just glad he was yours and not theirs…..
Parents blush and want to sink under the pews when their children make their presence known at church, but it is so very endearing to us “older” folk who are not in charge of those children.
“Older folk” — talk about an elderly phrase
Hannah dropped a ball last week that was found several pews in front of us. Luckily it was towards the end of the service. I’m trying very hard not to be too uptight about the noises. We stick at the back with other babies who like to coo during the service which helps.
Loved it when David loudly and proudly answered the pastor’s question “What does your daddy do?” (during children’s sermon) by saying, “My daddy makes money.” I was concerned that David would be overcome with the congregation’s laughter.
Previous commenters have said all the good stuff. I enjoyed this account of the visit. I remember once when David Pratt at Robbins, as the Apostle Paul in a skit, said something triumphant and scriptural that clearly reached all parts of the sanctuary, and his son Isaac said admiringly and loudly, “He’s a good yeller.”
