Sunshine – Youth Sunday 2018
- S. Lewis understood this. He wrote this about the Chronicles of Narnia:
I’m so thankful that [children] realized the “hidden story” in the Narnia books. It is odd, children nearly always do, grown-ups…hardly ever.
James Barrie understood that, too. He wrote the play Peter Pan in 1904. Barrie wanted his audience to enter in to the story. But because theater was for adults, he was afraid that drawing his audience in was impossible. So he came up with a plan. When opening night came Barrie reserved 25 front row seats for children. The children allowed themselves to be immediately transported into the story. They were there in Neverland with Peter, Wendy, Hook, Tinkerbell and the Lost Boys. And the adults watched the kids and then they got caught up in it, too. They, too, entered Neverland with the children. And now, we all know that story, don’t we?
What does that have to do with worship this Sunday? It’s Youth Sunday. It is the Sunday that we are led in worship by our kids. It is also Confirmation Sunday where we get to hear the faith stories of our six confirmands. It is a day when we get to hear about how the stories we have told our kids over the years have shaped them and encouraged them and invited them into our faith community. Come and get drawn in to the story of God and us through our children. Come see and hear these remarkable kids and hear about what Jesus thought of children when Pastor Jeff preaches on Mark 10: 13-16 ant 8:30 and 11 at John McMillan Presbyterian Church. We are looking forward to seeing you.
