On Friday nights, my church hold a Kids' Church. The numbers range between in the 20s to all the way in the 60s. These are the kids who are, well, street kids. They come from dysfunctional families with multiple sets of siblings from different dads or different moms. We get the privilege of loving on these kids and giving them something fun to do on a Friday night. I have become quite close with most of these kids and usually know when a new kid is visiting. This past Friday a relatively new child had come to Kid's Church. His first offense was  probably talking to his friends excessively so that resulted in getting moved to a different pew in the sanctuary. This usually wouldn't be a big deal for a child. But this one just seemed set out to be a trouble maker! It wasn't long after the move that he took out his phone and started texting, (something not allowed during Kid's Church). A worker tried to confiscate the phone but he would not give it up. This resulted in yet another move and a talk from the leader herself. during the talk the child became belligerent and rude so the child was to be sent home. When the child refused to tell our workers what his address was so he could be sent home he became violent so the police were called to take the child home. Eventful night? I think yes!
