Educating and Empowering Parents
An outreach of Cathedral of Faith's Children’s Ministry

The Pastor’s Pen
    

      Because of the business of our life many people tend to either not eat or not eat enough at breakfast.  Much research has proven that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.  When children come to church without eating a healthy breakfast they can’t focus. During the service we have kids holding their stomach and asking for food or disrupting the program. Let’s face it, hungry kids don’t learn.

     If there is a time that children need to focus, it is when they are learning about God, how to have a relationship with Him, and how to please Him. Experts have discovered that kids who don’t eat a healthy breakfast become:

• Less effective as the day goes on
• Tired in class and don’t pay attention
• Deficient in vitamins and minerals
• Less able to achieve and maintain a healthy weight
• Apathetic, disinterested, and irritable
• Unfocused, disruptive, and                                                                   sick (stomach aches)

     It is my prayer that you will feed your children a healthy breakfast before you bring them to service.  If you do, your children will learn better, achieve more, participate more, and behave better.  They will provide their body with the nutrients that it needs and help them feel good and ready to learn.  Remember the word “breakfast” means to “break” the “fast” since it has been many hours since you ate last.  Let’s give our bodies and the bodies of our children the energy that they need to come and learn about God.

                  
In His Service,
