Three things for this week:
1. We are in need of at least two more adults for this Saturday at 3:45 and this Sunday night at 5:45pm. If you can help please let me know as soon as possible. Thanks!
2. Remember you can view all the fun-filled activities Lisa Dorman put together any time on our team blog: https://parkviewec.wordpress.com/category/curriculum/
3. Team Training – We are in the life-changing business! Everything we teach and each relationship we build must have a compassion focus. Here’s a few tips from “Takeout Training” to keep in mind as we serve in the Backyard:
Accept everyone – Send the message that you are glad they’re here with “I’m so glad you’re here!”
Meet kids where they are at – Some are being raised in Christian homes, others are experiencing their first day in church. All of them are on a journey. And they need you to walk with them–wherever they are.
Model Christ – Show kids what it means to live in relationship with Jesus. This sends the strongest message of all.
Compassion is the first step in changing lives. We can’t make kids have a relationship with Jesus but we can motivate them to want one!
Love the lambs.
BIG hugs and much love,
Jill Shea
