my grandson is 1 year old , iasked my son if i could take my grandchild to church with me and he said yes. pray about it and ask GOD to give the answer that you are seeking, GOD does not blame the child for not being in church, the LORD is watching over his little angel that he sent to earth to be in your family, GOD knows that his angel will be watched over and taken care of.

What a lucky kid to have someone so concerned about their soul and future! Your heart is in the right place, so many people are willing to let the next generation stumble and critisize them rather than become involved and invest time and love themselves.
Is it a conscious decison on their part to not attend or not believe, or do they just not want to make the effort? Too busy? If they don't have specific beliefs there probably isn't any harm in asking to take your Grandchild to services with you. It could really enrich your relationship with that grandchild and give the parents with a morning to themselves. The grandchild will decide for themselves later reguardless, but it never hurts to have a little more information about traditional family beliefs, and fond memories of time spent with Grandma. DO NOT start the baptismal process or any other sacraments without the parents consent and blessing. Attendance will expose him to the Lord. And that is a great start. God Bless and good luck.

Sometimes you have to just let Jesus handle that one, sometimes some parents don't tell them anything and then there are some that just feel that church is not the place they want themselves and there children at...Not realizing that when you are in trouble or there children that is who you go to and that is Jesus. In your case since the parents don't want to take the child to church and they won't let you take them all you can do is just back off. And let Jesus handle the situation. I am sorry that you cannot see your grandchild go to church but what can you do when you have stiff opposition from the parents? Like I said let Jesus handle it and you keep moving towards your goal...that's the best I can tell you. May God bless you for even thinking about the child. :)

Why don't you offer to keep him on sat. nights the parents would love the freedom and then Sunday morning you could take him to church with you. Make a whole fun Sunday with gramma/grandpa after church have a special dinner that he would look forward to. Maybe even ice cream after wards. Over dinner you could discuss God and how you feel. But don't bring his parents up or put them down for not going to church. Grandson will go home and tell them and you may not get to take him again. Good luck and God Bless you!

Your kids went to church cause you wanted them too. Now its their turn to decide whats best for their children. Not everyone believes in the same God. Don't worry what they do. Some of the most religious people i know are non-denominational

I would start by wondering why. Seeking the council of the Lord Jesus. Pray for his parents, yourself, for the grandchild. Turn it all over to the mighty one, Jesus. Ask for the Lord to take care of his little one, and that you would be a willing servant of his to help. And leave is in the hands the Lord to heal if so be. Then look for a miracle to happen. God bless you.

My parents didn't go to church but my grandmother took my sister and I both. Today we are both very active n good churches. If you cant get him to go let your life be the witness. He will see the difference in you and his parents and he will want to be like you and have what you have.

Unless his parents have forbidden you to speak about your faith, why not engage a dialogue. If he's open, he'll respond. Your job isn't to raise him, but you still have an important part in his life. Be the witness you are called to be, let God worry about the harvest.

I have the same problem, but if he is with me we stop in Church and I speak to him of God. Just let your grandchild know what you believe.and your love for God and why. My other suggestion is to storm heaven with prayer. I will surely pray for you wish and you please pray for mine. That all children and adults come to know the love of God and His importance in their lives

start by asking them if you can take him to church every Sunday.And make sure that when you see him that you tell him about god and maybe even get him a bible.If it bothers you so much talk to them and make them see that you're not preaching to them you just want you're grandchild to know he is here.
