Agree entirely Emma. And you are so right that the Church doesn't value "Sunday School' ministry as much as it does ministry to adults, usually. The one thing I disagree with you is when you say "Children are the future of the church or the church of the future". Children are part of the Church of the present, as much a part as the adults, so it is important that their learning and spiritual needs are met.
Thanks for your very important clarification; this is the problem with being unscripted. I definitely value children NOW in the church, but also into the future. Thanks for picking ne up on it.

The first commentator quite rightly says, "Children are part of the Church of the present". I couldn't agree more !
