Fast Times
Three years ago today I came on staff at The ROCK. I first started as my husband’s assistant. After two years of being on staff, I was asked to take the lead of our children’s ministry. This last year has been more than I could have imagined. I am humbled everyday by what God is doing.
In the last few weeks, some of the things I started dreaming on day one have been happening.
Dream to make this the most exciting place for kids each week:
Two new families have told me in the last week their children have been asking all week when they can come back to church because it was so fun.
I have to be honest. I cried like a baby! Kids are having fun learning about God!
Dream to see measurable growth in Wee ROCK (2&3 yr old class):
On avg. 3-5 children in attendance last year.
Now avg. 13 children in attendance. Added another table last week because this is our fastest growing class.
Dream to have an organized resource room with shelving all materials kept in one place:
Purchased $3000 of industrial shelving from a going out of business sale for $300
Dissembled with the help of Bryan, Mitch Bowden, and Jim Furlong. These guys were AWESOME!!!
Jim and his son Michael came and put the shelving in the storage room last Thursday. Thanks Lisa for your help too and your tools.
Dream for an exciting portal in the hallway:
God provided a Valerie Bowden who can take the dreams I have and put them on a wall. She volunteers with enthusiasm and relentless energy.
Last Saturday, volunteers made huge progress on the murals while I was at the hospital in the delivery room with Abbye. Take a look here to see a pic of my niece, Rylee taken by friend and photographer Millie Holloman.
Don’t worry I am not out of dreams. God keeps giving me more.
