How do we value children and families within church?

Tony shares how important it is for him that children are valued within church and shares some examples from his own church experience.

Jesus valued children. Tony wants children to enjoy church and to enjoy God. He asks, how do churches value each and every member, including their children? Children change our homes, and they change our churches. What do we do as a church to value individual children and love them, particularly when their behaviour is tricky? He discusses how modelling, processing pain, being honest when we’ve got things wrong and creating windows into our churches can help to include children.
