Volunteer letter 2

God has amazed me this first month as we have been serving together. It was been wonderful to see God move in your classrooms. I have heard wonderful stories of children connecting to teachers and feeling loved and cared for. This is a beautiful picture of God working in you.
I am also excited to see your teaching teams come together. For some of you this is your first run at children’s ministries and that can be overwhelming. It has been great to see you take ownership of your classroom and for all of the teachers to come together as one unit. God is our unifying theme and we unite under the banner of the gospel.
I want to continue to say thank you for all you do. For the hours you spend each week preparing and the time in class with sometimes-large groups. God is using you to further His kingdom and to call children to follow Jesus. Please press on towards the goal, of making Jesus known on this campus that He might be made known in our dying world.
Our love for the Creator will cause us to love His creation. These children our His precious creation and God has graciously allowed us to teach them about His beauty and majesty and most importantly His son Jesus. Please continue to make Jesus the point of every week. Every story whispers His name; our purpose is to make Him known.
You are a blessing and a wonderful gift from God. Thank you again for your service. As you are in church on Sundays and in your small groups take the time to ask people to join you on your mission of loving the children of evbc. You are the greatest reason to serve in this ministry, because you love Jesus most of all.
