sooo, this past weekend i was a little bit out of my league…i joined an awesome group of people in children’s ministry and sang for the Kidstuff Family Christmas Show…i will start off by saying it was a lot of work…and music laid out for children’s ministry is not meant for the average male to sing…or atleast not after they have hit puberty!!!
but i had a blast, i must admit…it was awesome to see and hear the kids react to all that was going on and to see them singing and dancing with everything they had…
one thing that was very evident, from the first rehearsal…PASSION…the people at our church who are serving in the children’s ministry have…PASSION…they absolutely give every ounce they have to reach out to these kids with love and to teach them about God’s love for them…it was a great challenge for me, and not just to sing the high notes, but to see how they serve…
it was also a great lesson to me…these kids were soaking in every word that was spoken and sung…not only that, in some cases they immediately put it into practice…the virtue being taught was generosity…the big prize for family trivia was a $75 gift card to the local movie theater…the first night the winners gave the gift card away to another family who was has been struggling…THAT’S AWESOME!!!
i was challenged with PASSION…and taught obedience…all by stepping out of my box and serving in children’s ministry…it was great…
i’m not exactly…
sorry…no sunday setlists…

Noah enjoyed himself alot! I’m glad God moved in the kids and in the adults who helped! That is what it’s all about.

no joke, two $100 bills of monopoly money left in the salvation army bucket after one of the services…some child really wanted to give…someone comes up with the idea to have an adult match that…THEY DID!!! people were really getting the idea of generosity!!!
