This subject was brought up in another thread, but I thought it deserved it's own thread.
Crying children or unruly children are a distraction in a church service.
As a grandfather, I'm torn between having the kids go to the nursery or children's church during services vs. having the children experience a family worship and preaching.
At my church, children never experience the main services until they're teenagers. When my own children started attending services, they were uncomfortable for awhile.
I grew up sleeping on top or under pews during preaching. My mom made me behave so I wouldn't be a distraction. At times she wasn't successful!
Anyway, I grew up experiencing church!
Where should we draw the line when it comes to our children attending church services? What is the age when they should start experiencing the things that happen in our services?
