Children's Service
When & Where: On the Lord’s Day at the Penn Ave. Meeting Hall. We meet 10 minutes prior to the start of the Jubilee. |
| How does this service build up the body? |
 |
| We have no choice but to gain Christ. By God's sovereignty our natural ability, ideas, and experience all fall short of meeting the children's need. We may succeed a number of times serving out of our natural strength but eventually we will have to open ourselves to the Real Serving One who can serve, satisfy and sanctify the children. |

How can one gain Christ by participating in this Service?
|
| The importance of this service is great. On the side of the children, they are our fruit. We don't go out and labor to bring them in. They are just here. However, to gain them and keep them for the Lord requires much labor and prayer. The home is the center but the children's service is a crucial extension of the family training. Deposits of the Word, truth, and songs are all invaluable to the future church life in which these children will one day be pillars and coworkers. This service inoculates them against this evil age. |
| Children's Service Testimonies |
| "Living some distance from the majority of the saints and not being able to participate in a great deal of the meetings and fellowship, I have been kept and supplied through this service. It is our nature to put ourselves with ones similar to us in situation and personality. Through serving the children with other sisters I have become related to ones I would otherwise never have known let alone shared a burden, prayer and fellowship. I have been supplied and watered just by praying with a sister for the children and sometimes that sister is very young. I treasure my being built together, tasting the Christ of these ones who before serving I didn't know at all."
