IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:
Our Children’s Policy at Roan Mountain Free Holiness Church.

We wanted to make sure everyone is aware of our policy regarding children in church:
If your kids are loud, please still come to church.
If you’re running late because getting everyone out the door was a battle, please still come to church.
If your toddler won’t sit still, please still come to church.
If your baby needs to eat, please still come to church.
If your child asks questions at the least convenient time, please still come to church.
If someone cries, drops a toy, needs a snack, or has to make their third trip to the bathroom, please still come to church.
If your child doesn’t know all the words, all the prayers, or exactly when to sit and stand, please still come to church.
If you feel like you spent the entire service managing your children and heard approximately 12% of the sermon, please still come to church.
If Sunday morning feels messy instead of peaceful, please still come to church.
If you’re worried your children are distracting the people around you, please still come to church.

Because children do not learn how to be part of the Church by staying home until they can sit quietly.

They learn by being here.
They learn the hymns by hearing us sing them.
They learn the prayers by hearing us pray them.
They learn to worship by watching us worship.
They learn that church is home because we make room for them here.

The wiggles, whispers, dropped crayons, crying babies, and little voices are not interruptions to the life of the Church.

They are evidence that the Church is alive.

So bring the babies. Bring the toddlers. Bring the big kids. Come late. Sit in the back. Sit in the front. Step out when you need to and come right back in.

Just come.
Children are not simply the future of the Church. They are part of the Church right now.
At Roan Mountain Free Holiness Church there is a place for them here.

The longer I follow Jesus, the more I notice the people who rarely get noticed.

The couple who have been married forty years and still sit beside each other in love .

The widow who keeps worshiping after burying the person she spent her life with.

The young parents walking through the door carrying a diaper bag, two cups, three coats, and a child who is already melting down.

The single college student who could be anywhere else but keeps coming.

The older man who prays for people nobody knows he is praying for.

The woman who has served children for twenty years without recognition or a thank you.

Hebrews 12 tells us to run “with endurance the race that lies before us.”

That endurance is formed in the small decisions to remain faithful.

It is repetitive.

It is ordinary.

Christianity is simply learning how to stay with Jesus and his people over a long period of time.

Ordinary Sundays teach us how.
