Many ways to serve

I am always amazed at the hearts of the teachers and leaders in LHC Kids Children's Ministry. Every weekend God reveals to me a new direction, a new friend, a new battle or a new joy.

I know God loves that we do what we do. I know God loves that we love His children.

From making snacks for the people who teach our children, to a teacher in the infant room, to Large Group Leaders teaching 80+ preschoolers a Bible lesson, to smiling faces greeting our families at the door, to our Security Guard keeping our hallway safe.



It doesn't matter what the job is. I doesn't matter how many hours you are here. What matters is that you answer God's call to serve. Wow, that was a revelation to me. I am the queen of fill my plate until it bubbles over with stress on me and on my family! When that happens it is all about me and not God's call.



I can honestly say I can respect when someone tells me "No!". I may wine about it for a moment (or two), but I get over it. It is not about me. I have to tell myself, "Who am I to feel like I know what God wants in someones life?" God always has His people waiting in the wings, ready to serve.

God has grown me in the 11 months as Director. I appreciate Him more and I appreciate our serving team more. I have to thank each one who serves and every parent who brings their children to church on Sunday. Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!!
