March 2016 Kid's Happenings
Hello Church Family,
Oh my, do I feel overwhelmed with so much coming to an end and new things beginning. Our children’s ministry is in the middle of planning Celebrations for
Upward, the Easter Eggstravaganza, new concepts with Kids Worship, new lesson plans for kids 2:42, Children’s Musical, weekly themes with AWANA, VBS, kids camp and so much more! Let me tell you it is very easy to look at all the plates spinning and praying that some don’t get dropped.
I’m sure many of you feel the same way in your day to day struggles and busyness. It’s so easy to look at all the things we have in front of us and to worry or be anxious that things won’t happen the way we have it planned out. Whether it be your job, friendships, children, marriage, money, sickness or even your daily walk with the Lord. The bible tells us in Matthew 6:34 “So don’t worry about tomorrow”. God has a perfect plan in place for all of us. We can do our very best to try to control our future, but if WE try to take control, then we aren’t truly in His will. If we trust in Him and His promise in Proverbs to acknowledge Him and he will direct our path then we should have no worries or anxieties for the future.
Start with prayer and opening your bible. We should also seek good Christian counsel and build strong Christian relationships that can help to hold us accountable. I and my teams can’t do all the things I have listed above and you can’t conquer all your struggles and busyness without surrendering it all to God. Allowing Him to
handle the worries and to do what is perfect for His amazing plan!
Thank you for the opportunity to love on your children.
God Bless,
April Sharp
