Growth...

16,11,13,9,15,20,25!!! 25 Kids in Jr. Church this past week. It just keeps growing and growing in amazing ways. Not only are the number of kids growing but the kids are too. They really do pay attention during the lessons and remember questions and previous memory verses. I'm very impressed with their attention skills sometimes.

This past Sunday in honor of mothers day we planted little white flowers in small pots they had painted for their mothers the week before. It was an incredibly messy craft but I think the kids really enjoyed it. The best part for me was seeing the older girls take charge and helping everyone else AND doing all the clean up too. Their hearts to serve are incredible.

I didn't follow the lesson curriculum for this Sunday so I thought maybe we would just make our own lessons for the whole month of May since the last Sunday is also going to be different. I am very excited to say I will not be there on the 25 on account of my younger brother getting baptized!!! So this Sunday we are also going to do things differently and break up into 3 smaller groups after P.Cal tells the Wolff story. The theme of the story is kindness which will be great for small group discussions since some of the older girls are not speaking to one another. I'm pretty sure its just a little thing their going through but hopefully Pastor Cal and I can help.

Well I am finally home in pgh for the summer so theres lots of unpacking still do to after the busy leadership weekend seminars. I'm looking forward to spending the summer with BridgePoint though and already have some ideas to energize Jr. Church.
