Next Sunday, they are starting "children's church" which will take place during regular church. Kevin and I are so excited that Madalyn will have somewhere to go. Up until now, she's been in the nursery still because if you know Madalyn you can imagine that she wouldn't sit still or be quiet during church. I would be so focused on her that I wouldn't hear anything the preacher said. They can stay in the nursery until age 4 so she was soon about to come out anyway. They had a muralist come in a paint a part of our activity center to make it into our new children's church. Today after church we got to tour the new area and show Madalyn where she will be going now. We thought it started today, so Madalyn ended up coming to big church with us. She did great! She really surprised us at how well she did. However, I couldn't tell you anything the preacher said because I was so focused on making sure Madalyn was quiet. :0) Because of our new children's program we had 10-15 baptisms this morning all children except for there was one family: a mom, dad, and their three children. These decisions were all made during our Wednesday night children's program in the past few weeks. We have never had that many at a time, and the church was packed this morning. God is really moving through our children at our church and that makes Kevin and I so excited for our child to be a part of it.
My mom kept Alexis at home this morning. I'm not ready yet for her to get out because of the cold weather and all the germs and sickness going around. But the three of us went, and this was my first time back in church since Christmas.
