Team Email for Kid's Ministry:
Hello everyone!
Last Sunday I had a chance to share some of the victories that we have had with the children's ministry, and there is much more to share!
As I shared last weekend, I think the context of the situation makes it all the more special. September of 2020 we didn't have any kid's programs running for obvious reasons. When we started we only had a handful of churched kids and we slowly added more programs.
Now here is where are:
Churched Kids (Children of members of the church):26
Crowd Kids (Children of regular attenders):15
Community kids (Children of families that do not attend Valley):45!
Respectively here are the numbers of families we are impacting:
- 16
- 9
- 31!
There is a very real opportunity for outreach and evangelism through the kid's ministry!
We are also celebrating baptisms. This year Valley had a total of 18 baptisms. Nine of those were children! Along with that, we also have at least 1 child who has expressed the desire to be a missionary when they grow up!
Personally, I am also celebrating the personal growth I see in those who serve as well. I love that we serve a God who will reach children and grow the people who are willing to serve.
Along with the things we are celebrating I know learning curves have been identified. In response to many of our events this past year we are working on planning well ahead of time and regular communication :). Honestly, I'm excited about all of that.
I know I'm the person who gets to share these reports and I'm a public face. But please know that I wholeheartedly believe we are doing as well as we are because YOU have been faithful to call. Thank you for partnering, loving these kids and loving each other!
Let's continue to grow forward.
