No doubt about it, I’m a blessed fella, especially when it comes to the volunteers who make our Children’s ministry a possibility. It’s crazy when you think about what they sign on to do. Every week they turn a school classroom into an inviting environment for our kids to come in and hear about Jesus. Just the setup and teardown is an amazing process- not to mention the prep time that goes into preparing their lesson and making sure they have all that they need for their class each week. I mean really they turn this:
into this:
It’s an amazing transformation- and it takes quite a bit of work each week to make it happen. I ask a lot of my volunteers, I expect a lot from my volunteers, and in return I want to cultivate an environment where we celebrate those who are going above and beyond.
That’s what I want to today. When I start thinking of people who go above and beyond in our Kid’s Ministry, there are two that immediately spring to the front of my mind. Those two are Ashlyn and Karlee Richards. They are truly amazing and it is such a joy to get to serve alongside of them. They both have such a servant’s heart and are constantly seeking out ways to help, to serve, to make my life a little easier. I actually joke with them that I have to try to think two steps ahead to try and get to something before they have a chance to do it!
They’re great- they’re amazing- and they are also students! Karlee is in the 10th grade at Loganville High School and Ashlyn is in the 8th grade at Loganville Middle School. Here is a picture of them with the hoodies they were given to recognize their service to Kidology:
Ashlyn and Karlee- I am incredibly grateful for you. Thanks for all you do! I love you guys!
