Congregational life

When Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them” (Luke 18:16), he obviously wanted to teach us that an encounter with him would do them good. Medical science now backs him up on this. When our children are in church and receive positive exposure to the sounds, sights, smells, touch and movements of faith, the sensory data can make a lasting imprint in the brain. In other words, it can hard-wire them to the faith.
