Monday is my long term planning and event planning day. I could spend days doing this because I love event planning! I also have a lot of ideas that I need to work on getting past the idea stage. But, today I spent most of the time on the upcoming events that are just around the corner.
But, I got to spend some of my workday meeting with some awesome people who are so supportive of the children and youth of the church. I can't imagine being able to do what I do without them all!
Last spring, we began to remodel our youth area. We actually moved and expanded into two rooms. Through that move, several other things were forced to move. All ended up being for the better! The nursery area is now remodeled and our preschool rooms moved and are also really great!
But, now it has made some other areas stand out with their clutter and unwelcoming feeling. So, today we met to talk about some ideas to revitalize the next area! The hallway where the children's classes are is the first place children and families see when they go to Sunday school class or our Wednesday class. It's truly the first impression of what we are offering for our children. So, the welcoming atmosphere is vital to the programs.
Through one of the awesome people at the meeting, a beautiful picture of Jesus is being donated! It will be surrounded by pictures of all of the children who attend the church programs. I am grateful for the love and generosity of this gift.
Other aspects of this area are also in need of some help. This falls under the committee of one of the other awesome people at the meeting. I am so grateful for the support of her and her committee who work to make things happen. And, knowing that they want to see a more welcoming space for our children and families is such a blessing!
So, where was God today? He was in the people who I talked to who showed their love and support for helping the children learn about Him.
Blessings,
Jennifer
