Why have a children's time in church?

God willing, we'll be in a new facility on Friday 1st February. That will enable us to have the whole church family together in the service.

Should we have a children's time in our church service? What would we do during that time? More importantly, what would be the purpose of that time?

Is the purpose for children to observe their parents in church?
Is the purpose for children to learn what happens in 'adult' church?
Is it to have a time of singing & Bible Story for children?
Is it so families can participate together?
Is it to fill in time for those running late?

What are your thoughts? Why would we have a children's time in church?

Time to decide

We have spent several months praying and asking the Lord's direction for our church. Our current facility is problematic, and we have an alternative - St Christophers Saar. How is the Lord leading us? Your comments are welcome...
