Hello everyone, my first post here so I hope this is the correct place for this. I wanted to ask for opinions on an issue in my church. The church I attend has a lot of children that attend, which is great. The issue is them talking and misbehaving during the service. I go to church on a military base so it's a bit different than my old church that I attended in the past. This never happened at my old church. But here, it seems to be almost normal if that makes sense. It's gotten to the point now that I really don't want to attend because all I can hear is the noise during the service. I know the Chaplain sees it too because it obviously makes him lose his train of thought when he's preaching. There is a children's church service that the kids are dismissed to but some stay in the main chapel. Last week there was kids playing with hot wheels in the church pews. The parents didn't seem bothered at all. Anyone ever dealt with this? I know kids are kids and I understand that but at some point I feel something should be done. I haven't spoke to the Chaplain directly because I didn't know if it was my place. Thoughts?
