God has been so good to us at McKnight! We are being blessed with 70+ children each Sunday morning. With this blessing comes a call to action! I was with Kids of the Spirit this Sunday morning when we were going over announcements. Amazingly, several of the kids had read the bulletin and saw we need help in both King's Kids and Kids' Community. Jennifer just happened to be walking through when over 80% of the kids had their hands raised and were shouting out that they could help in King's Kids or Kids' Community. It was an encouragement to both of us. I have a list of adults who volunteer over and over again. I would love to add your name to that list!We need volunteers to work:one Sunday a quarter in King's Kids
teach for a month in King's Kids
small groups to work in Kid's Community
run the check-in system on Sunday mornings
run the check-in system on Wednesday nights
I do not know of one volunteer who has regretted the time they spent working with the kids, but more importantly the time spent serving God. May you prayerfully consider spending your time with the McKnight Kids.
It is a blessing to be so busy that you don't have time to blog! Wow, August was a great month with McKnight Kids! August's Munchin' With The Martins was the biggest of the summer! I don't mean to brag but The Kids of the Spirit know how to come through! Way to go! Seriously, we are so thankful for all the time we got to spend with McKnight families. Your children bless our lives in a very special way!
Baby Dedication and Back to School Sunday was so special! We were so happy to pray and dedicate 22 babies and toddlers to the Lord! He has certainly blessed us with so many new babies and families. It was such a joyous occasion and yet, I found myself thinking of Sean and Wendy Martin and missing Emma. As the weeks go by and big events occur, it is easy to return to our old routines. But that doesn't mean we have forgotten or moved on. The children ministry workers and kids continue to hold Emma precious in our hearts and lift Sean, Wendy, and Ana up to the Lord. We love you and Emma!
It was exciting to see everyone "apple picking"! It is an honor to pray for our children and their teachers! Thanks to everyone who picked a prayer buddy! Please be sure to let your prayer buddy know that they are in your prayers and use this opportunity to create a special bond! I would be remiss if I didn't thank Christy Cole for organizing the harvest!
