Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples
praise you.” Ps. 67:3
“Is
tomorrow Sunday School?” Our youngest
son doesn’t quite follow the days of the week yet, and from about
Wednesday at supper he wants to know how soon the big day will arrive. Coming to Saint Timothy’s has been a big
event in the religious life of our family for several reasons.
First,
we all get to worship together on Sunday mornings. Since our older son was quite young, the boys
have gone to my wife Allison’s rural Lutheran church for service each week,
while I led worship at the Episcopal church.
With Allison’s pastoral ministry on hold during her graduate work, we
now gather in the same place—though generally on different sides of the Altar
rail. Sunday School is also new for
them, and they love the stories, the crafts, and the fun time spent with other
kids their own age.
