Children are very important in the faith community and deserve a loving and safe environment regardless of their family’s socioeconomic background.
This is the message of the Methodist Church of Fiji as Christians around the country commemorate Palm Sunday today.
Methodist Church of Fiji Secretary of Communications Reverend James Bhagwan says they do not tolerate any form of violence or abuse against children.
He says they have always encouraged believers through the Family Life Ministry to ensure that children are safe, cared for and nurtured not only educated academically and culturally but spiritually as well.
Bhagwan says Palm Sunday or Children’s Sunday is the final Sunday before Easter and it signifies the entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem, the week that leads to His betrayal, arrest and death on the cross which is commemorated on Good Friday and the celebration of His resurrection which takes place on Easter Sunday.
