What's the thing with the kids!?!?!?!?
Posted May 03 2010 17:27 GMT in Notes

Hello to everyone!

O.K.  So here’s the thing……the children around Grace Life are AMAZING!  They are smart.  They are creative.  They are kind.  They are energetic.  They keep me young (well, some may not agree with that J).  To watch them discover something new about Jesus and see the light turn on, is something that I feel honored to be a part of. 

I am also honored to have some fantastic adults come along side to help plan for our upcoming new ideas and events.  Assuming we will be able to use our extra space for a while, we are planning puppet shows, dramas, music, etc for Sunday mornings utilizing these gracious adults and some of the teenagers as well!  You may have noticed the "Fusion" theme logo on the wall.  It is our family ministry slogan.....Fusion.....Where Grace and Love join together with families!

Whitney Nolan will be leading us through this time of growth and planning and she is so excited.   She has been a key player in the Sunday morning sessions with the older group of kids and we are blessed to have her experience leading the way.

When I was in elementary school, there was an adult who The Lord used to reveal His amazing and endless love for me.  Without that adult’s heart to share Him, I would have had to find Him some other way.  Now, let’s be honest…..God would have used another way….He was NOT going to let me fall through the cracks, but it is such a sweet privilege to be like that adult who revealed Him to me and have a chance for me to share Him with the kids and to see them actually begin to understand that He DOES love them no matter what!  And that they can trust Him no matter what!  And that they were created by Him as an individual masterpiece…no mistakes!

If you feel a pull towards these kids and want to join in, please do not hesitate!  We would love your input as we plan for a whole new look!  And for those already helping, thank you so much!  As you share His love with the kids, share the kid's enthusiasm with others around you!

Get ready for an explosion of youth!
