Youthful Energy

We have an awesome group of teens here at CCV. I recently met with a core group of them who have been involved in serving in our Childrens Ministry. They are the crew of folks that I know I can count on especially when I see them in the hallways before service and need help in the classrooms. They are willing to lend a hand wherever needed; drama, small group leader, tech, whatever and do it with an enthusiam that can not be matched by any adult.
I am looking to forward to seeing this core group (the V-Squad) grow as a ministry team in our children's ministry. I will keep you posted on all the great stuff they will be doing over the coming months!

The Good Shepherd

We spent the past month talking to our elementary age kids about how Jesus is our Good Shepherd using curriclum from Promiseland. During this portion of the lesson we presented the salvation message through a creative use of props and drama. It is amazing how something as simple as a few tables, fabric, a stuffed animal and a wooden cross can have such an impact in capturing the attention of kids.

Executive Pastors Online

Check out this new resource for Pastors!
Executive Pastor Online is a resource for church leaders who have the need to develop organizational infrastructure without the ability to hire an Executive Pastor. In short, Executive Pastor Online is a "virtual" Executive Pastor, including valuable information and resources covering the typical duties and responsibilities of today's Executive Pastor. It is our hope that Executive Pastor Online will be your primary resource as you answer your calling to build and grow your church.

Take Care of Yourself

Where has the first month of 2008 gone? I amazed by how time slips by us so quickly sometimes. Take a moment to thank all of those you serve with for the time they put into preparing for the Sunday they serve and also, the time they invest getting to know the kids and the others on your team. But most importantly, take some time and make sure that you and your team are taking care of yourself and growing in your own relationship with God. The kids and the team will grow if we each do our part to stay spiritually healthy. With the start of the New Year encourage your team to chronologically read through the Bible together. Read at your own pace, it is only about ten minutes a day, and use that time to spend getting to know God’s voice. Our ministry to kids will only continue to grow if we make sure to keep ourselves healthy and instep with God.
