As one who goes to a church where children are welcomed, it seems to me that the kids get used to being quieter, so it isn't that big a deal.
Also, the church does get used to having a little more noise, but it really isn't that much at all. (Though, the kids are noticed when I go home to my parents' church, but they don't have hardly any children there any more)
David and Holly went to a church after leaving CMU that didn't allow children in the service at all. It was pretty weird, I hadn't ever heard of such a thing.
Our children have benefitted from being in the service, and often ask questions of us or the preacher about what the sermon was about.
