Game Day

Being a Family Ministry Director, Sunday is the biggest game day for my team and I. It is the day that we work toward every week. Leaders, teachers and helpers spend countless hours in prayer and preparation all week long to get to Sunday morning. We hope God blesses our efforts and seeds are planted in the hearts and heads of the kids and students we minister to.

We pray that the first few minutes of every Sunday morning operates like a finely oiled machine. Sometimes the gears get stuck and things go haywire. Check out this link for a funny story entitled "Not knowing how to drop a kid off at Sunday School." I think it will make you chuckle.

See you next Sunday!

Creation Fascination

The last several weeks Caiden, along with the other preschoolers in the Kids Klub class at our church, has been learning the story of creation and exactly what God made or did each of the 7 days. Its been an incredible journey for the kids. Each week, they made a page that coincided with the days' lesson. The pages eventually became a booklet (shown here). It is one of the neatest things Caiden has done at church and something that will help him remember God's creation for all of his days. Thank you for all your help and hard work - Carrie, Jody, Debby, Joby, Darien, Katlyn, Dorothy, Rebecca, Janet, Julie and the others I may have forgotten.

Just in case you need a quick creation lesson, here's what God made or did each of those 7 days (from the preschool standpoint). Go to Genesis 1:1 to read all about it.

Day 1: God made light and dark.
Day 2: God made sky and water.
Day 3: God made land, plants and sea.
Day 4: God made the sun, moon, stars, day and night.
Day 5: God made fish and birds.
Day 6: God made animals. God also made people.
Day 7: God rested.
