Children for Christ COCM

𝙎𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙎𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙡 𝙏𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝘼 𝙝𝙪𝙢𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙮.

Behind every lesson prepared is a busy person who also has a life of their own. Some are working daily, some are still students, and many are juggling multiple responsibilities every day.

Some are mothers who take care of their families, yet they still make time to serve.
They work. Some run their own businesses.

Some may be quietly carrying personal struggles we do not see. Yet despite all these, they still choose to prepare their lessons well. They gather their thoughts, steady their hearts, and stand in front of young minds, little hearts that need to hear about God’s love.

They give their service freely.
They prepare lessons.
They create visuals.
They even use their own resources.
They expect nothing in return.
They demand nothing.

Many people think Sunday school teaching is simple… maybe even “chill.” But what they do not see are the late-night preparations, the prayers whispered for every child, and the quiet sacrifices made just to plant seeds of faith.

And one day, those small seeds planted in the hearts of children will grow into faith that will last a lifetime.
What seems small in the eyes of the world is never small in the eyes of God.

So today, if you know a Sunday school teacher, say a prayer for them ❤️

Cuties… and ang babait nila sa picture, ‘di ba? 😄

Pero kung may toddlers ka, alam mo na hindi ganyan kadali makuha ang shot na ‘yan.
Bago pa mapicturan, may konting usapan muna…

Pag ok na ang isa, ayaw naman ng isa😄
May gustong tumayo, may gustong tumakbo, may gustong umiyak.

It really takes time to get that “perfect” shot, at minsan hindi pa rin talaga perfect.
Pero hindi naman talaga tungkol sa picture ang kwento.

We’re talking about how your little ones can learn and enjoy during the Sunday worship service, while you, as parents, can focus on listening to the sermon.

Sa likod ng mga ngiting ‘yan ay may mga patient at loving Sunday School teachers na nagga-guide, nagtuturo, nakikipaglaro, at tumatawa kasama ng inyong mga anak.

Kaya sana huwag ninyong isipin na hadlang ang inyong mga anak sa pag-attend ng worship service.
Hayaan silang maging bata.
Hayaan silang makulit minsan.
Hayaan silang mag-ingay ng kaunti.

Because even at their young age, you are already planting something precious in their hearts ♥️ the memory of being brought to the house of God while they are still young. And one day, that memory may lead them back to Him. ❣️

𝙈𝙖𝙝𝙞𝙧𝙖𝙥 𝙗𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙙𝙖𝙡𝙖 𝙣𝙜 𝙗𝙖𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙞𝙩 𝙨𝙖 𝙨𝙞𝙢𝙗𝙖𝙝𝙖𝙣?

Sa totoo lang… minsan oo.
May iyakan. May takbuhan. May “Mommy, bored na ako.”
May mga matang lilingon kapag maingay ang anak mo.

Pero from a spiritual point of view…
📌Hindi istorbo ang bata sa simbahan.
📌Hindi sagabal ang ingay nila sa presensya ng Diyos.
📌Hindi hadlang ang pagiging makulit sa pagtanggap ng biyaya.

Remember when the disciples tried to stop the children from coming?

”𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘑𝘦𝘴𝘶𝘴 𝘊𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘥, “𝘓𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘔𝘦.”

Ibig sabihin… welcome sila.
Ang simbahan ay hindi lang para sa tahimik.
Hindi lang para sa adults na marunong umupo ng diretso.
Ito ay para sa pamilya. Para sa susunod na henerasyon.

And today, many churches are becoming more kid-friendly.
May mga volunteers.
May Sunday school teachers.
May toddler rooms.
May mga taong handang umalalay para ma-attend mo ang worship habang inaalagaan ang pinakamaliit mong dala.

Because church is not just a place of worship.
It is a place of support. A place of growth. A place of grace.
So kung nahihirapan ka magdala ng bata sa simbahan…
isipin mo ito....
Mas mahirap palakihin ang bata na hindi natutong lumapit sa Diyos.
Dalhin mo sila.
Turuan mo sila.
Hayaan mong marinig nila ang mga awit.
Hayaan mong makita nila na si Mommy o Daddy ay nagdadasal.

One day, they may forget the sermon.
But they will remember that you brought them to God. ♥️

Maligayang kaarawan sa isang napakabait at napaka-cute na Busik♥️

May your day be filled with laughter, fun, toys, and sweet surprises.
Praying you good health, a joyful heart, and lots of exciting adventures as you grow.
May God always protect you, guide you, and bless you with a bright future.
Enjoy your special day...you are so loved! 💙🎈

“Bakit ang anak niyan laging nagsisimba pero pasaway?”

Sounds familiar?

Going to church does not mean a child will behave perfectly.
Hindi ibig sabihin na isang tingin lang, susunod na agad.
Hindi rin automatic na kapag sinabing “upo,” uupo kaagad.
Yes, there are children who behave that way.
But many kids who go to church still show naughtiness,and that’s normal.

Children are learning. They are growing.
So the real question is, para saan pa ang pagsisimba?
As parents, we must ask ourselves:
Para saan nga ba?
What is our true reason for bringing our child to church?

Is it to show others that our child is “well-behaved”?
Or is it to plant God’s Word in their hearts?

The Bible reminds us
“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6

Church is not a place to raise perfect children.
It is a place to raise children who know God, even while they struggle.
Ang ugali, hinuhubog ng panahon.
But faith is planted early.

And even when it seems like they’re not listening, God assures us:
“So is My word that goes out from My mouth: It will not return to Me empty.” Isaiah 55:11

Every Sunday, every prayer, every lesson, nothing is wasted.
Because one day, those seeds will grow.
Church is not about controlling a child’s behavior.
It’s about guiding their heart, one Sunday at a time.

“Bakit hindi ka nagsisimba?”
“May maliit kasi ako.”
“Makulit, nakakaistorbo sa ibang nagsisimba.”

Are little children really a disturbance in church?
In a way, yes.
They move around, make noise, ask questions, and sometimes throw tantrums for no clear reason. That’s part of being a child.
But should this be a reason for a mother or parent to stop going to church?

No.
God did not give you a child to be a hindrance to your service to Him.
A child is not a burden, they are a priceless gift entrusted to you.
Children are not interruptions to worship; they are part of it.

Let children be children. There are ways to guide, calm, and teach them but they should never be the reason you stop coming to God.
Because church is not only where we worship it’s also where our children learn, observe, and grow in faith.

As Jesus Himself said:
“Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
Matthew 19:14

So come. Bring them.
Even with the noise. Even with the chaos.
God welcomes you and your child just as you are.

Why bringing your child to Sunday School matters ?

Because faith is not built overnight, it’s planted early.
Sunday School teaches our children.
Who God is and how much He loves them. Values like kindness, respect, and obedience. That church is a safe place to grow and belong
What they learn while they’re young becomes their guide as they grow older.

As parents, we don’t just raise good kids, we raise God-centered ones.

“Train up a child in the way he should go…” – Proverbs 22:6

Ang pagdadala ng mga bata sa simbahan, kahit minsan ay medyo makulit sila, ay isang paraan upang maitanim ang binhi ng pananampalataya at tamang mga pagpapahalaga na makakapaghubog ng kanilang pagkatao sa paglipas ng panahon. Consistent na exposure sa isang nurturing spiritual sorrounding ay tumutulong sa kanila na magkaroon ng sense of belonging, moral grounding, at mas malalim na pag-unawa sa layunin ng buhay.

Maaaring hindi nila lubos na ma-appreciate ito ngayon, pero ang mga karanasang ito ay maaaring mag-iwan ng pangmatagalang epekto, nagbibigay sa kanila ng gabay at lakas sa panahon ng hamon. Ang pasensya at pagtitiyaga sa paghimok sa kanila ay nagpapakita kung gaano kahalaga ang pananampalataya at binibigyang-prayoridad ang kanilang espirituwal na kalusugan.

Matthew 19:14
