This Sunday, as we observe Children's Sunday, we will reflect on our responsibility as a church to steward the spiritual lives of our youngest members. Grounded in Matthew 18:1-5 and Deuteronomy 11:18-21, the sermon will challenge us to rethink the role of children within our faith community—not simply as “the future of the church” but as vital participants whose spirituality we are entrusted to nurture. By exploring what it means to create spaces where children can feel seen, heard, and valued, we’ll consider how our stewardship of their faith shapes the future of the whole church. Join us as we look at the ways we can honour this calling.
