I know that this new year has many blessings for each of the ministries that God has opened up.  But like all things, we must have people to help run them.  The children's ministry is no exception.  Working with the kiddos definitely has opened up new avenues for me.  I encourage you to sign up to work in the kid's ministry.  You would be so surprised at what you might learn while teaching one of their classes.  They truly are a blessing just waiting to fall upon you.  Working with the kiddos isn't a chore.....it's a privilege. 

The kids have been awesome at telling me what they are doing through out the week concerning "putting God first".  It has been such a joy to watch them and to see the excitement in their sweet faces.  This past Sunday we added the rule book into play.  Each of the kiddos got a turn telling what one of their favorite games were and the rules.  We talked about how sometimes following rules are not a lot of fun but they are there to help keep us stay safe and to help us be successful.  The rule book that we introduced was, yes of course, the BIBLE!  We talked about how all the rules we need to be successful in God's eyes are in this amazing book.  Talk to your kiddos this week about rules they like to follow and some rules that they do not like.  Then, see what the Bible says about them. 

Have a great week...and as always....thanks for sharing your kiddos with us.

New Year

I hope you all are having a great start to 2013.  My thoughts at the end of the year are always with gratitude for the past, but excitement for the future - and focused reflection on why we do what we do.  We started out with a lesson for the kiddos on making God number one in our lives.  It was an amazing time with the kids.  I never grow tired of hearing what the minds of these little ones are thinking.  Our next lesson was focused on prayer.  I don't know if you have realized it yet or not, but our kiddos are the best prayer warriors ever! 

I just want to say to all the CLC families how much we love you.  And how much we love your kids. 

Thanks for sharing them with us.....

Blessings always

We had a great Sunday!  The kids had a wonderful performance.  They dressed up as angels, sheep, shepherds, etc.  They were all so cute.  I love this time of year and what it represents. The wonderful gift of Jesus.....

Have a great week!

I hope you are all having a great week!  Christmas is just around the corner.  This Sunday, December 16th our kids at CLC Temple will be performing a couple of songs.  This is a fun time for all the kiddos.  They get to dress up like angels, sheep, shepherds, kings, etc. 

In our classes over the past few weeks, we have be learning why we call Christmas Christmas.  It has been a fun learning experience for the kids and I must say for the adults as well. 

Reading the Christmas story to your kids I hope is a special time for you and your family. 

Blessings to you all
