Reflections

What a crazy fall season we had. September brought with it much uncertainty regarding the future of kids ministry at Evangel. Attendence on our Sunday morning buses was low, and what did KidMo have to do with God's Back Country anyway? Yet, by the time October rolled around, Children's Outreach was it's own entity as a ministry within Family Ministries, and marvin was given a new lease on life at Evangel by being called to lead it. We had our first training night in October. (Go The Gospel of John!) We also had our first planning meeting. Last but not least, October also saw a number of our kids get saved on a Sunday morning. November was...a blur. There was choosing Christmas presents (What exactly was that mirror all about?!), planning the Christmas dinner, and our first annual staff Christmas dessert party. (Hats off again to Pastor Kevin for being our barista for the evening!) Then came December: School Christmas concerts, gift deliveries, Christmas Dinner and Gala--along with all the usual weekly visitations. Not to be forgotten, we were also able to bring a handful of our newly saved kids to a special discipleship class. (Speaking of not forgetting, hopefully the many apologies and extra pieces of cake helped Brody to forgive me for forgetting to pick him up for this class!)

Well, those were some of the highlghts, but obviously not all of them. Do you have a memorable moment or two that you'd like to share? Reply to this post and remember away!
