In just a little under two weeks (12 days), I will be introduced as the new Children's Minister at my church. This is my first real shot at leading ministry. I have been a part of several ministries since high school (Youth Group; Worship team at three churches; volunteering and helping teach kids ministry; church secretary), but this will be the first time that I will be the teacher, leader and mentor to a small, but great group of kids.
Since January, I have been getting to know the children better and I have been helping lead and leading some of the time in Children's Church. After some trial and error, I have come to discover that Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber and all their friends (from VeggieTales) have really helped engage their attention to how to live and be more Christlike. And it has been great to see them grow just in the time that I have been teaching. I am very excited for this new transition and blessed that this is how I start working in pastoral ministry. And after the children realized I was going to be their new teacher, they slowly became excited and now look forward to coming to Children's Church.
It will be exciting too to have three pastors at my church again. It has been great to work with our Youth/Associate Pastor and our Lead Pastor.
