Maplewood Children's Day

Each year, our church has a special Sunday to allow the children in our church to have a special part in worship. Sunday the 21st was Children's Day at Maplewood! The day starts with a special breakfast for the kids and their parents. The children lead the worship service by singing, puppets, a flag routine to a song...they even lead in prayer and take up the offering! The boys really anticipated this special day...I thank God for a church that loves and encourages leadership in its children.This young man, Cole Culpepper, had an accident Sunday morning after breakfast and cut his arm open. His parents then took him to the ER during the Sunday school hour for 10 stitches, where he told the doctor to please hurry because he had to get back to lead in prayer and sing a solo...it truly blessed my heart to see his dedication and commitment to the Lord and to the leadership roles with which he had been entrusted! Thank you, Cole for your awesome example!
