Today’s readings focused on Jesus blessing the children. We read the accounts from Matthew 19:13-15, Mark 10:13-16, and Luke 18:15-17. The children liked the Luke reading best, because it specifically mentioned infants, and they liked the image of Jesus blessing even someone so tiny as Chickadee. Interestingly, The Story Bible combined Mark 9 and 10 into one story for our evening reading, which actually worked out well, but required a little extra explaining, since there was more information in the story than the children were expecting to hear.
