Parents have asked me “Why should I bring my child to church?” My answer is: Children should come to our church for the same reasons as adults:
Because the church experience speaks to them about their values and beliefs;
Because in our church they feel an acceptance as they truly are;
Because in our UU churches children can ask their questions about the meaning of life and religion and not feel threatened.
Because they are loved in church, even when they think that they don’t want to be there.
The children need us as wise parents to bring them to church, because they cannot bring themselves. See you in church this Sunday and hopefully, every Sunday with your children.
