Hi Family Ministry Volunteers & Greeters!
Hi Family Ministry Volunteers & Greeters!
Go to this website and answer a few questions for us. Then either Jono, Nicole or I will email you with further instructions 🙂
This is a no strings attached thing. But we are in dire need of more volunteers! We have some awesome environments set up for our pre-schoolers, kids and teenagers to learn how to be Christ followers. The only thing we lack is you as their fearless leader!!
Our Backyard Bible Club will be Aug. 2nd-6th in Woodlake subdivision and one of the apartment complexes in Monroeand it will take place in the evenings.
Let me just open up to you all for a minute. There are some Sundays when I leave church thinking “wow, I am so NOT the person for this job!” I have this idea of what I want CLUB 252 to be like and then a Sunday comes along where EVERYTHING goes wrong and I melt down, not at church but to my husband on the way home 🙂 He’s good at talking me off the cliff, and I know better than to make decisions or even form opinions based on the bad days. But in the week following I try to make it a point to evaluate what went wrong. I’m one who wants to fix things. If it’s not working then I don’t want to waste my energy.
*In case it’s not apparent, this is one of those weeks following when I am evaluating what went wrong. And if your child was one I sent home with paint on their clothes, I am SO SORRY! The wind was blowing, and the pictures the kids were painting went everywhere! It was washable paint and I tried to clean them up with my tide stick but I still feel terrible!
Okay, back to my spill. I am not a goofy person. Skit teams were all the rage when I was in the youth group and it was just known that I only wanted the serious parts. It was because I was not about to do a good job at the silly roles. Nothing has really changed. I get along with kids because I relate well to them, and I just like hanging out with them. To the untrained eye I can cope but I don’t think I am fooling the kids! Bible story time I can do because it has a more serious aspect to it. But our worship and funny skit time is supposed to be energetic and loud and silly! We have a group of teenagers who show up every Sunday to serve. They learn their lines and the hand motions to the songs but I am just not good at leading them in being silly and goofy like I want them to be. It’s hard to lead someone to do something that you’re not good at yourself. I want someone who will step in and be our worship leader, someone who will inspire the teenagers to act like fools to get the kids laughing in a way that I could NEVER do!! I want your kids to REFUSE to go into adult service with you because they don’t want to miss the fun to be had in Club 252!! So I’m praying hard this summer! I’m praying for God to send us this volunteer, and maybe even two of them so they can rotate 🙂
Please pray with me! And if you are this person, please please please volunteer your time!! This is me begging because it is that important to me!
