Thank You for a Wonderful 'First Sunday'

Sunday Morning Ministries 'First Sunday' Success

Yesterday was such a smooth and comfortable beginning to our Fall program it had to be recognized.  Everywhere I went was filled with laughter, love, great conversation, meaningful 'work' and of course, children. When this post hit my inbox this morning it inspired me to share and say thank you to all who participated.

Children of God

Posted: Sep 09, 2013 01:00 am
We see and hear in Jesus’ witness something profound about our posture towards children. They have inherent dignity, and we, like Jesus, need to raise them up. Surely all of us need to take on the care of at least one child. Whether we are parents, godparents, aunts and uncles, teachers, neighbors, friends, advocates…in some way doing some thing in the raising up of at least one child, and for the love of God.

-Br. Curtis Almquist

This is the first of many Sundays to come and so I encourage you to prayerfully consider if working with children as a way of 'raising them up" is a calling or ministry you might choose.

Peace,
