My husband Kevin and I served together for years in a Family Ministry position. We feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to work with young adults, young families, and their preschoolers as they strove to establish families based on the truths in God's Word. Below are just a few pictures of our work there!
Shannon's Days in Kids' Ministry
I am so thankful for my wonderful years in kids ministry! From Bible School to Children's Church, the unabashed way that kids love and follow the Lord is so refreshing! If you and your kids aren't plugged in to a local church somewhere, I would highly recommend it for you and your family!!!
Here are some photos from some of our favorite events--Christmas musicals, Vacation Bible School, Children's Church, Easter "Egg"stravaganzas, Hallelujah Harvest Festivals, etc. Enjoy!
Writing our Christmas plays each year was such a fun treat--and just look at those crafty costumes! Special thanks to all the moms who were always faithful to lend a helping hand!
VBS--what a blast! It's like Kid Revival!!!
Here comes Peter Cottontail! Annual Egg Hunts were a special time each Palm Sunday to celebrate the new life we have been given in Christ!
Hallelujah Harvest Festivals--Fun, Costumes, and Fellowship!
Our Children's Church room was decorated with a cheery outdoor mural. Colorful paint, kid-sized tables, and eager children made each worship service a special time!
Kevin's Days in Youth, College and Career, and Life Group Ministry
My husband began the LIGHT youth ministry (Living in God's Holy Truth) several years ago. Although we no longer serve in youth ministry, we still feel a very strong burden for the young people of this generation. If you know some teenagers, but find them a little scary or intimidating
;-), I would encourage you to reach out to them anyway. God can use you outside of your regular comfort zone! He certainly has done that in our family! We loved our youth and have been so blessed to watch them grow in their faith!!!
