The GOOD, the BAD, and the EXCITING!

Sorry folks I haven't posted much lately. Lot's of new and exciting things happening in Oak Creek Kids that I want to briefly tell you about. I have good news and I have bad news for you...I will start with the good.

We have been growing in kids church in the past couple months. We have been consistently running 25-30 kids now. It is so exciting to me seeing that there has been steady growth since Scott and I first came to Oak Creek and had 10 kids my first week leading Kids Church. There have been so many great moments where kids are meeting Jesus and growing in their relationships. Woohoo!

The bad news is as more kids come into kids church a stronger need arises for us to have more leaders join us. As more kids attend that means less time for one on one connection time with each kid. Right now, it is just Scott and I leading the kids. Please pray with us as we look for a few people to partner with (And of course let me know if you feel you could and would like to be part of our team).

I also have exciting news....

In June we are launching something that is a huge passion in my heart and I can't wait to get started! We have started a kids ministry team called H2O for 2nd-5th grade kids. It's going to be amazing watching kids have opportunities to grow and serve!
