“Children are at the
very center of life in the kingdom of God.” These words from Mark 10:8 (The Message) changed my life
recently. I see life with God as
an adventure. I want to be in the
middle of the action, not missing one thing God has for me. So as I sat one morning with Jesus,
contemplating stepping back onto staff with our Children’s Ministry, these
words spoke to me.
My husband and I have
called NCCC home since 1997. I ran
our junior high ministry from 1997-2003 until my son was born. Since that time, my husband and I have
served in every age and grade of our awesome Children’s Ministry. For the past two years I have also had
the privilege of being part of our Kids Games Team.
I love our Kindergarten –
Third Grade children and their families. These kids have the most incredible insights into who God is and their
relationship with them. They are
not just the future of the church. They are the church! You
should step in and see worship. You should see them lean in to soak up all they can of the Bible in our
large group teaching time. You
should hear their responses in small group time. This is truly the “very center of life in the kingdom of God”.
