Random Ramblings

We have already begun our new year in Journey and Celebration and a new year kicked off tonight in Awana's. I have some random ramblings.


I really like our "new" format for Celebration, this allows us to gear the message more appropriately for the different ages and really connect with the kids on their level. I always look forward to each Sunday and seeing the way God works in the lives of the kids, it is truly a blessing. I'm also blessed to see our friends interact with kids and really build relationships with them, relationships that truly last. The impact on the kids you all are making cannot be measured. Also, to our 11:00 6th graders, in addition to the above statements, I want to add; you "guys" are AWESOME!!! A quick side note, Mrs. Kristi, you're still the same, full of energy an


Awana's started back tonight, wow, thank you leaders, listeners and secretaries. It is cool to see you guys dive right in, especially all of you that are new to Awana's. I must admit I was blown away with how quick you all were able to have your kids into HT and learning God's word. Game guys, it was loud and the kids were laughing, awesome. Council Time, Mr. Tim and a gavel, I really wish I knew the story to that.


The biggest highlight tonight that I am aware of; Joey meeting with a child that is ready to be baptized!!!!!



Coolest statement I heard from one of our kids tonight, a Mom told her son that he had Mr. Jeff as his leader, the boy was visibly excited and said something to the effect, "I got Mr. Jeff again, he's the best", may not be an exact quote, because the boy took off running to Mr. Jeff right when his Mom told him who his leader was going to be.


Lastly, Mrs. Kristi, - cheese grits!
