KidzCity

Today I went to observe the Kids ministry in my church in Hobart, Kidz City.

Noted some interesting things, the children there are more responsive to your questions and they're always eager to answer your questions.

They're extra friendly to you too! Went I came entered the room, I was introduced to the 40 or so children by Pastor Libby. Right after a welcome note and an offering message (yes they have an offering message for children!), Pastor Libby invited all the 3-5 year olds to go to the basement where they would have their classes. She asked them to look for a partner and buddy up to walk down together. I was unsure whether to join the class or not until this young boy, named Lockie, came to me and said, "Hi Jason, can I be your partner?". He reached his tiny little 4 year old arm to me and that made my day..

In the room when Pastor Libby asked everyone to sit on the 'red mat' so that she could tell them a story, (red mat to set the boundary for them) I warmed up to the kids and sat next to some of them. This time, Hugh came to me and sat on my right,saying, "I want to sit next to you because I love you...".

Yokay. hahaha.. kids in Australia!
