Today Linda has asked us about our childhood memories about church.
My family and I attended church from the time I was a born. We went to a smaller church (less that 100 people) and so I was close to many of the families and grew up with many of the kids. It has been fun to get back in touch with some of those through Facebook now. I remember many of the older people and how they were like grandparents to me.

My Mom taught children's church for a long time, and my Dad was one of my Sunday School teachers.
Activities I remember at church include fall festivals, bake sales in front of a local store to raise money for camps, and regular lunches after services. I don't remember many Vacation Bible Schools. I don't guess we had one ever summer. One I do remember had a space theme. Also, many years we had a Christmas play. We saw some of those videos recently, and it was funny how young we all looked.
I am thankful that I was taught the importance of faithful church attendance and the value of having a supportive, loving church family. That is something that sticks out in my mind when thinking about my childhood church experiences.
Have a day of blessings!

great post!
Sweet memories, love you.
Oh Bethany what sweet memories these are! And you are right, having a supportive loving church family is such a blessing! I can't even tell you the value of them in so many areas of our life when I went through way too many surgeries in one year!
Have a blessed weekend
