January Christian Ed Report

May God show the blessings you seek in 2025! It’s a
new year! One of my blessings has been working with the kiddos and the
wonderful people of this Church. From hugs from 3-year-olds and hi-fives

from 8 th graders to offers of support from church members, I am blessed
beyond words.
In the education wing, we’ve been busy with the Christmas program! It was so much fun to have all the
kiddos share in some ministry back our congregation. While it is a tradition to have the kiddos share the
Nativity Story, it is an important one. It allows our kiddos to know they have an significant role in the
Church, which will hopefully follow them through to adulthood.
I am grateful for all those that helped with the program: Bruce, who plays so beautifully to add depth to
the ministry, Pastor Dustin with all of his support, Ginny for keeping me in line and helping me so much,
Scott who keeps things going here at the church, the sound booth ‘guys’, Don, Shawn, JJ, James, and Ella
as they keep the video rolling and the sound humming, and a special thank you to my folks, Jim and Vina,
who are always helping me and “my big ideas.” Also, a big thank you to WinGS and you, the entire
congregation, for being so supportive of the Christian Education program.
As we move into the New Year, we from Christian Ed which you the absolute best!
Blessings~
