Church family,
Last Wednesday night we said thank you to the people who show up week after week in our nursery, toddler room, Pre-K, and kids’ spaces. They are not babysitters. They are the front line of discipleship for the youngest members of our church family.
Wednesday nights have gotten harder. Our volunteer pool is thin, the need is real, and if we don’t address it together, families and children keep paying the price.
This Wednesday’s business meeting will carry more than a financial report. We’re having a town hall conversation about what’s happening on Wednesday nights — the volunteer gaps, the structural challenges, what it takes to form children and families as disciples rather than occupy them for an hour.
A disciple of Jesus is someone willing to rearrange their way of life to follow his way of living. That applies to how we structure Wednesday nights as much as Monday morning.
Come Wednesday at 6. Bring your questions and your heart for this church.
In the Peace of Christ, Pastor Garrison
