There are many methods used to wash hands, many of which are inadequate to prevent the spread of disease. It is recommended to wash for at least 20 seconds, though 30 is better. Suggestions have been made in the press to sing as you wash. Singing the happy birthday song twice or singing the ABC's Song once takes about 28 seconds. These are fine... Read More for children. May I suggest that we encourage our adults to sing the Doxology which takes 28 seconds as long as you give the A-Men the full measure. We can praise God and prevent the spread of disease at the same time at church, at home, at work, or at a restaurant! Richard Trefzger M.D. 1st Christian Church, Bloomington, Illinois

I think there is a better way than when I grew up. I got pinched on the leg every time I acted up. Church was more painful than fun. When I started serving as a pastor I asked that children stay in the sanctuary. During the children's moment I would give them things to listen for during the sermon. There were still distractions but I don't ... Read Morethink it was more than adults.

It is important that everybody gets an opportunity to worship. We come to church to experience God and that may be through the eyes of our children. Church school is the time to target the message. The worship service is for everyone.

I agree David. When I first started in ministry I didn't feel as strongly, but after having ministered to families and served in deathly quiet churches, I have become strongly convicted of the need for children in worship. For both the kids and adults- maybe even more for the adults.

My request is for the possibility for at least a partial refund of registration fees closer to the event. At least for special situations. I am a military Chaplain, and I received an initial "go ahead" to register in March (prior to the end of the early bird registration deadline), but I found out on 6 July that I had to attend a mandatory pre-... Read Moredeployment training that conflicted with the GA. The official policy was no refund at all after May 1. (The initial notice had been sent on 29 May. I was in the process of moving and missed that message. However, that was still after the 1 May deadline.) So, that was $500+ contribution to the Church which I can't even claim as a charitable deduction. Steve Doan, our denominational endorsing agent, offered to make a partial reimbursement out of the Disciples Chaplains Association funds, but I declined that offer, wanting the funds to be available for retreats, etc. Maybe in 2011, but I won't register until I actually show up!

I will appreciate the theme much more when the invitation of the "many" to that One Table becomes truly and totally inclusive of all God's children.
