A Child Shall Lead....

After singing the song, "Jesus Loves Me" a child asked the pastor.  "How do we know the Bible is true?" In his wisdom, the pastor realized that there is not a simple answer to that question and that it is a question that we all wonder about.  So, the pastor decided to lead a class for the whole church on the subject.

That's what I love about smaller membership churches.  First, that this child is comfortable enough to ask the question. To this child, the church is his family, and the pastor is a part of this big loving family of God. He trusts the pastor and knows his question will be taken seriously.  Second, the agility of a smaller church allows the pastor to take the question and run with it.

What do you see happening in your smaller membership church that might not happen in a larger setting?
