About 16 years ago, one of my toddlers screamed bloody murder during the whole somber Maundy Thursday service. We brought him to the nursery, but our church was so small you could still hear him screaming the whole time. I was so embarrassed—core memory embarrassed—I decided to stay home during this service with whatever littles couldn’t handle this somber night, and since Knut served communion, he would take with whatever kids could sit quietly. It’s been 16 years since I’ve gone to this Maundy Thursday service, and I think my youngest is old enough to be fine. I’m so excited.

@garonnevik Children at church are a blessing whether crying or not.
