My youngest grandson has just begun attending Primary after our
worship service on Sunday mornings. They have to be three years old and
don't make the move into Primary until the new year begins in January.
Before that, they attend nursery with all the children from 18 months
through 3 years of age. It's a big transition and it was only Ollie's
second time because our church was cancelled due to snow during the
second week of January.
Last Sunday after church his mom inquired, " Ollie, how was Singing Time today?"
"Good, we did "Church, Party, and Play'."
After a moment's reflection, his mom asked, "Do you mean 'Search, Ponder, and Pray"?"
"Yeah."
Personally,
I prefer thinking of it as "Church, Party, and Play!" It's easy to see
how a three year old might make those substitutions.
Ramona, I am laughing because of Ollie's comments. Maybe I should tell the little girls that we have party time after church. They think that Mass is too long for them. My oldest one is making her Communion this May so I keep telling her she has to be serious about going to church. Thanks for sharing that story.
ReplyDeleteHeeheehee!! I like "Church, Party & Play" too! I think a lot of us might enjoy that at least as much as "Search, Ponder & Pray"!
