A little bit more thanks

Thanks (Part 2)

I am blessed to work hand in hand with groups of people. Last week, we I wrote to parents. Today, I want to thank another very special group in our ministry.  Without either of those groups we would not be able to do Children’s Ministry at our church. If God is the head of this ministry, then these groups are the hands and the feet. They are so important to all of us. Today, I want to thank the volunteers, the teachers, the helpers, and the leaders. 

All of these people prepare each week. They pray for our kids. They show up ready to be with kids. These people attend meetings. Many of them hurry from work on Wednesdays or get up early on Sundays. They spend their own money. They do so much because they want all of our kids to know that Jesus is the best thing anyone could ever know about. 

As the Children’s Pastor, Thank You doesn’t ever seem like it is enough. Each one of these teachers make me look good every single week. They are the people that create discussions. They plan field trips. They create crafts. They are the best. I am blessed to be able to work along side each of them. Kid’s make sure you tell each of your teachers, “Thank You!” They are the hands of this ministry. They make it happen.

A little bit of thanks.

I have a very unique job. The entire time my kids have been alive, I have been specifically their pastor. I got to baptize them. I have been there when they walked to the front to pray in the altar. I have seen them pray for other kids. I have gotten to see them develop spiritually  first hand. I don’t take lightly that privilege. I also don’t take lightly the honor I have to partner with other parents in seeing their children grow spiritually. 

Today, I want to say thanks to parents for giving me this opportunity. Thank you for bringing your kids each week. Thank you for allowing me to speak God’s word into your kids life. Thanks for supporting us as we develop programs to help you see more of your kids growing spiritually. It truly is an honor. 

I pray that we can grow and Kid’s Rock will be a great asset to you in your child’s spiritual growth. Thank you for that opportunity.
