Babies at Church?

I have an African American woman, in her late 70’s who attends one of my churches. She calls out to me or to God or sometimes both of us at once frequently during my sermon or some of the prayers. It does not distract me - it energizes me. It annoys one or two of our members but they have become used to it or given up grumbling… either one is fine with me and the other members. They are the same two members who say that they are unable to worship because the drum set at the front of the sanctuary bothers them so much (the drums are used by a Latino congregation that uses our building later in the day) - the AA woman told them to “keep their eyes on the cross and the drums won’t bug you”.

By the way, when I was a pre-schooler I used to cry because I wanted to be in the sanctuary instead of the nursery… worship was much more interesting!
