For those unfamiliar with church services for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, there are three one-hour blocks. The congregational meeting is usually the first hour (with the sacrament/communion), while the other two hours are taken up by various religious classes for various age groups and interests. One of those classes is nursery, where toddlers (ages 18 months to 3 years) go before they are old enough for Primary-age classes (ages 3 through 12).
I have never seen a nursery class since I was young enough for nursery myself, until today. They needed more volunteers to watch over the children during activities, snack time, and the brief lesson about Jesus Christ. My wife loves to help, and somehow I got volunteered as well. I didn't do very much except participate in the singing and games, as well as making sure the kids stayed safe and were having fun. For the most part, the kids weren't too rowdy. Still, I have now seen for myself what nursery workers at church do, and my respect and admiration for their service has grown tremendously.
I am grateful for nursery workers at church.
