Children's groups: long may they continue!

Dear Editor,

I’m so glad that Jonny Woodbridge mentioned in his article some good reasons for arranging separate activities for children during Sunday services. 

Many years ago, my husband and I relocated to a new city with two small boys in tow. Church A had strong links with our previous church in our former home. This had a Sunday school for children before the church service. The whole church then gathered for an hour and a half, which included a long adult sermon. The rationale was that the whole family should worship together.
