Humour: Nursery catacombs idea flops



From Larknews @ http://www.larknews.com

ARVADA, Colo. — Fountain of Life church’s new children’s ministry coordinator was supposed to freshen up the kids ministry to compete with the nearby mega-church’s PlayLand-style children’s area. But turning the church basement into the Catacombs Kids Club flopped with children and parents.
"We wanted kids to step into the lives of first-century Christians in a mysterious, cool environment," says Katie Mendoza, 23, a recent Bible school graduate who had staked her short career on the idea. "With Pirates of the Caribbean being so popular, we thought dungeons would be fun."
But when the Catacombs Kids Club was unveiled, kids began to cry and begged to go to "big church" with their parents.
