BRAESIDE CITADEL JUNIOR SOLDIERS
Child Protection & Children's Week Commemoration
The Braeside Citadel Junior Soldiers met in the church hall on Tuesday, 1 September to commemorate Child Protection and Children's Week.
Theme: HOME: THE SAFE SPACE
This theme was chosen in response to the many dangers children face in today’s world.Children need someone they can trust and confide in. Home should be that safe place.However, when home does not feel safe, children tend to keep things to themselves, or seek counsel from the wrong sources. This can place them in even greater danger.Through this theme, we seek to encourage parents and guardians to build strong, loving bonds with their children.
Our prayer is that every child feels comfortable to approach their parents or guardians with anything — whether happy or sad. As parents and guardians, may our children know that we are always ready and willing to listen.May our children never fear us.
"But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him." — Luke 15:20
