Madison: I was baptized in an almost empty church after a big snowstorm. I plan to go to this church for a long part of my life, and I know my church family can teach me a lot about God. Now that I am in fifth grade, I keep going to church to learn about God. I am here today to tell you what I know about God, but first if you’re wondering why I’m telling you and not one of the pastors, it’s because adults make things so complicated. Maybe we need to listen more closely to our children.Īidan: I have been going to this church since I was born, and I have loved it from beginning to end.
