The daily and weekly grind is real! Individuals feel it at work. Families feel it juggling all their extracurricular activities. Churches feel it because Sunday morning comes every week. When I came on staff at Apostles 20 months ago, I quickly realized that the majority of a staff leader’s time could easily be spent each week preparing for Sunday morning.
While what happens on Sunday mornings is very significant for people of all ages from babies to youth to adults, we need to have a bigger picture vision that guides what we do on those Sunday mornings. We also want to remember that a church is so much more than what happens on Sunday mornings! A church is a community of people pursuing Jesus and His kingdom in our lives.
I personally love thinking about the big picture and vision for what God has called us to as individuals, families and a church body. Even though we do not have a Children’s Ministry Staff Member right now, we do have a Children's Ministry Leadership Team of incredible volunteers and there has been a lot of behind the scenes movement on the vision and big picture direction for Children’s and Family Ministry at Apostles.
Now it is time to share what has been going on behind the scenes! I am very excited to invite you to the Children’s Ministry Vision Meeting this Sunday, October 24 at 10am in the sanctuary. I, along with the members of the Children’s Ministry Leadership Team will be sharing exciting updates on what is happening on Sunday mornings and beyond! We'll share the new curriculum we will be using on Sunday mornings, how we want to equip and resource parents to engage in spiritual conversations at home with their children and three fall community building events for families.
