Today, our church celebrates its 40th anniversary. Since there was no children's service available unlike previous years, we could serve together as a family. Joram is still too young to be included but he is at least independent enough to occupy himself adequately while looting through the goodie bag given to all the children.
It was a great training experience for the older three to serve our larger community of brothers and sisters with our beloved CG mates. We donned on our covenant tees with black bottoms and helped with ushering and distributing the elements for communion. My eldest boy aided in counting the people occupying our block while the girls took the trash bags and collected the disposable wrappers after everybody was done with consuming the biscuit and juice in remembrance of our Lord Jesus.
We look forward to many more opportunities to serve with our children as they grow older and more independent. My wish is that one day, perhaps, we'll serve in the same ministry as any of them if their calling so coincide with mine or Joshua's. *wistful*
