"CRE8 is every ware. Love is every ware. I love this new church."
After the service last week, a young child named Maci presented us with this art and note she made for us. ❤
Kids feel comfortable, because they are welcome here.
Kids feel loved, because they are safe here.
Over the last 2.5 years we have welcomed in kids of all ages, and families of all kinds. We are unbothered when kids squak, babies squeal, or any other noise of that nature.
We don't ask people to quiet down, usher them out, or glare with disapproval. We often pause mid-sermon and say something like, "we need to just pause a moment and say that we are not stressed out by what's happening. So to the parents, it's ok, really. Breathe easy, you're welcome here and this is what happens in families."
The tension some feel leading up to that moment dissipates instantly.
We will always welcome families to sit, worship, and stay together if they prefer it.
And, we are also planning to launch our kids ministry soon.
So whatever works best for your family will work for us. We are here to support you and partner with you in this and every stage ahead.
Maci, thank you for the reminder and for the gift of your heart-felt artistry.
There's a seat for you at the table.
You're only new here one time, then it's yours...and ours together.
Because as you so perfectly said,
"Love is every ware!" (and we prefer your spelling!)
