Growing Community
January has become a month of new things as we walk in the new year. One of these areas is in our Academy. Last Thursday we had a full house as we began worship with 20 people-a mixture of children and adults. The children are feeling much more comfortable with each other and with the adults. Chris has been coming to morning worship and he challenges everyone to particpate. After worship it is fun to watch the children find their own workspace and begin their work for the day. We are seeing some of the newer children beginning to take more responsibility for their work. And most excitiing, we are seeing more smiles and hearing more laughter.
God is good and faithful as we wallk out what He has called us to do. We see this as an opportunity to pour God into the lives of these chidlren and to ” encourage, equip, and empower” them for their future with the Lord.
with a smile in my heart,
Joyce
