"Then little children were brought to Him that He might put His hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, 'Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.' And He laid His hands on them and departed from there."
(Matthew 19:13-15)
Last Christmas, we had a couple thousand people come to our campus at Great Hills Baptist Church. We had a blast sharing the Gospel of Jesus and providing fun entertainment for all ages. The big attraction at our Christmas @ Great Hills event was the trains. We rented two trains and kept them running for three nights. Each train ride included a narrated tour about the birth, life, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus.
Almost everyone loves a good train ride, especially children. Train rides for kids are appealing because they allow the children time to take in the sights and sounds while moving slowly. The next time you are at the zoo, park, or mall and you see children on a train, notice the smiles on their faces.
Our church decided that we would buy our own trains. In about six weeks, these two trains pictured below will make their permanent home at our church:
