Children's Ministry

The sun did not shine.                                          

It was too wet to play.              

So we sat in the house                                                                                                       

All that cold, cold wet day.

I sat there with Sally

We sat there, we two.

And I said, “How I

If this sounds familiar in your house, take a look to the south of the church building.  There are tunnels and swings and things to climb!  Big swings, little swings and fun things galore.  We have a super fantastic playground, second to none.  My four year old grandson says the swing goes so high that his toe touched a cloud. 

And there was a lot of work done out there last year.  The area under the playground equipment is virtually mud free even in this weather.  So grab a lunchable and a box of juicy juice, and let’s put this playground to good use. (Oh, don’t forget the kids.)   The kids ……...they make up the Children’s Ministry.

I am so excited about everything that is going on in the Children’s Ministry.  We have just completed new units of curriculum for all the nursery classes.  (A Big Thank You to Georgia Henderson for all her hard work.)  We’re planning some new things for Children’s Worship this summer that the entire congregation is going to love.  And we’ll be doing some neat stuff in the elementary wing that will include small group shepherding.  Polly Dehm and Tanya Reddell have been diligently working to get things organized and off to a running start this summer.  What a blessing to be a part of this! 

Then there is Charles Griffin and Tammy Evins (and many others) working with those Redshirts.  Their packing up for a “journey” to the Passion Play May 3^rd and 4^th .

Pray for the work in Children’s Ministry and the life long affect that it will have on our kids.  Ask God to use people at Southwest to be a light house for our kids on their journey to a better life.
