A little piece of writing

Here's a little something I wrote to promo a special worship service we're having at our church in about a month...

I look down the hallway and see preschoolers praising. Their little arms reach out to the God who loves them; their little faces flecked with His joy. “The wise man built his house upon the rock . . .” Eternal lessons taught in a rhythmic beat, some classics just never go out of style. I glance into the Excite room and see something similar, but on a more mature and blossoming level. Here are the 1st – 5th graders who have become my community. They are not children; they are my brothers and sisters in Christ. They greet me with a smile. They know my name. As I settle into my fuzzy green chair to hear Dr. DoGood teach the Bible story of the morning, I know I’m where I need to be. Not only am I serving, I’m learning, I’m growing, and I’m a part of something much greater than myself. And I love this road on which God has placed me. Those who are traveling with me – the children, the middle and high school students, and adults – who make Excite and Parade happen every week are some of my best friends. They are the people I laugh with the most and some of the most amazing people I have ever met. They link together, arm-in-arm to serve their God and the little children that He loves so much. And while they’re serving, they have so much fun! And here’s the thing, they’re not an exclusive group. Ever excited to meet someone else interested in Children’s Ministry at CSC, they immediately fold them into the group, wanting to make them a part of this community. We invite you to get a glance inside the world of CM at CSC. On May 21st, join us for an intergenerational worship experience called Kidstuf. It will be a Sunday you don’t want to miss.
