Lifekidz

First of all, I'm soooooooooooooo excited that school is out for the summer! I learned more this year on classroom management than my first year, college classes, & any lesson on patience I've had combined!

Now on to LIFEKIDZ! Lifekidz is for K-5th grades on Sunday mornings in our very own theater. It's awesome-ness has made me go from plugging a hole to really, really, really enjoying my Sundays there and being exciting about helping prep it! The kids used to stay in the main service until after the music, but going into the theater we changed that to help with security reasons and to also give the Lifekidz their very own worship time. I'd say it's been a huge success giving us more time with them! Just ask Dawson James...he refuses to come to church without his tennis shoes because sandals interfere with his Lifekidz dancing!

I think our biggest success has been the addition of Lifegroups to our time. We have had such positive feedback. The kids LOVE splitting into their age-appropriate groups and getting to share stuff! They have REALLY opened up and we have been blown away by the things that are on their minds & their desire to discuss things! These kids have real "life stuff" going on and they want to talk about it!

We had one young girl that refused to come in without a parent for several weeks. The first week we did Lifegroups she was able to connect with another girl her age & it was the last week her mom came in!

So, if you are a volunteer at LifePoint or somewhere else...just remember...you're job is so important! You are making a bigger difference than you realize and you are needed fully on board! Keep up the good work!
