Thank You CORE Children's & Family Ministry Volunteers


Saying Thank You is simply not enough. Each Sunday I have the priveledge to witness one of the following: 1.adults interacting with babies, changing their diapers, reading a book, singing a song, having a snack... some may think this is just free babysitting- but I invite you to see it as I do. Taking care of the little children as Jesus invited the children. He said "Let the Children come to me, do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of God"-Mark 10:14 2.Pre-school teachers reading a book, sharing and inviting children to listen to the stories of the bible. 3.workshop leaders/elementary rangers brightening the face of a child. Getting an a-ha, a high-five, a hug, praying with a child, playing a game... 4. TWEENS teachers sharing an experience with 5th/6th graders. Talking about mentors; involving them in taking life seriously and going deeper in their walk with God... and that is just at the surface. I hope you know what a difference you are making. It is the great commission of God (Matthew 28-18-20).
