One of my three favorite holidays is this coming Sunday and OC kids are ministering in our Raster Family Service! You do not want to miss it! Sunday, April 24th @10AM.
We just had our special kids church Easter service which, focused on remembering Jesus. Reminding the kids, leaders & myself why Easter is the most humbling, amazing, love filled holiday. From helping me tell the Easter story to nailing their names to the cross & having communion together, I saw kids have a deeper understanding of the love & sacrifice. Our kids are really tender and growing I can see every week. This week was no exception.
One of the kids said after service yesterday, "I cried when you told me I was the reason Jesus died on the cross. I'm that special? Wow! No wonder you always say God loves me & has a plan for me. Hey, next week we get to tell all the people in church that God did that for them, huh?" Tears welled up in my eyes as I said you are so right. I told him I cry when I am reminded how much God loves me too!
Wow! That's what it's about right?
Love those OC kids! God help me disciple, mentor and pour myself into their lives for you!
