Wendy Bailey works with our 5th graders at 11. I was so excited to hear that she has taken it upon herself to go and eat lunch with as many of her kids as possible. This past week she ate with 12 kids at T.I.S. What a great way to connect wiht these kids. Great job, Wendy!
I have had 3 parents in the past week tell me that their kids are ready to be baptized. We had a first grader and a fourth grader get baptized today! God is moving. Whenever you see one of our kids get baptized, I want you to remember that if you ever taught that child (even for just one Sunday), shepherded that child, listened to that child say a memory verse, even greeted them or their family... God used YOU to get them to the point of salvation and baptism. In children's ministry it takes lots of little steps before a child is ready. You never know if you are one of those steps!
One last cute story... Wendy and Harper told me about one of their 5th graders who takes meticulous notes. When Harper asked who remembered what he taught last week, she referred to her notes. :) She was disappointed that she only had notes from Celebration that day!
I love these kids!
