We are getting ready to make some important changes in our children’s ministry regarding communion. A little background — we as a church do communion weekly. In the children’s worship for elementary children used to do communion weekly as well. As our ministry is growing larger and larger, it was becoming difficult to determine which [...]

wanting so much more

Have you ever been in a place where you can’t get comfortable? Where no matter what seems to be going on, you crave more. You want more? I’m there. I am so dissatisified with where I am currently at ministry wise. I tend to get ahead of myself – wanting what is beyond where I [...]

The fam is going on an overnight camping trip tomorrow. My parents are already relaxing on Lake Hartwell and my hubby and our boys will be joining them tomorrow. I am looking forward to being in God’s creation, just reconnecting after this hectic Summer we’ve had as a family. Need to reconnect with God, with [...]
Fall changes…
Posted in 252 basics, Curriculum, children's ministry on July 26, 2007 | 4 Comments »
I have decided today that rather than going with the Elevate curriculum from Fellowship Church, we are going to go with 252Basics by ReThink Group (North Point Church). So our Fall line up will be First Look for Preschool and 252 Basics for Elementary. We will be taking the content, using a portion of it [...]

I believe we are to live our lives in a way that not only is pleasing to the Lord, but also that is an example to others. I am faced with this daily as I am a parent. A parent of a 3 year old parrot, who will mimic or repeat the very least of [...]

Summer Slam follow-up

Whew! Summer Slam is half-way over. The BMX show we had today was awesome! The group that came in to do it was above and beyond great with their tricks, but also with their message of bike safety. The weather was absolutely beautiful! I had half-heartedly been praying for a cold front, but that is [...]

I was watching my youngest, Benjamin, tonight act as silly as can be. He is full of himself. At 1 1/2, he has one of the most colorful personalities I know – bright and bubbly if he’s excited and happy, red and angry if he’s upset. But he is definitely colorful. He feels most things [...]
