SERVANTS NEEDED!!


-Brandi Post-


WHO?

Kids Korner Ministry

WHAT?

Needs VOLUNTEERS with a servant heart for teaching and helping to lead our littlest of blessings to learn more about our WONDERFUL Savior.

WHEN?

Thursday Mornings from 8:30-11:30 a.m. beginning in January

WHERE?

Faith Baptist Church preschool wing, ages newborn to home school aged children

WHY?

There are so many reasons WHY, so I will just list a couple.

1. If you have been blessed through a bible study, give BACK to another mother. When we have been blessed it is then our turn to be a blessing.

2. WITHOUT servant hearts to volunteer, Kids Korner cannot function. Meaning, children would have to attend bible study with their mom each week.

3. The importance of our little ones learning and knowing more about Christ is PRICELESS. They are the FUTURE generation of Christians; TRAIN them up NOW not LATER.

4. Bottom line, if none of the other reasons move you, CHRIST NOT ONLY TELLS US, BUT HE SHOWED US HOW TO SERVE. As a Christian we each were bought with a price and we no longer live but Christ lives in us. We need to be growing and acting more like Him EVERYDAY…One of the valuable lessons I learned is you can and will be BLESSED through service to others.

I pray that each of you will search your hearts and pray hard, to see if you can be of service to so many next semester at Kids Korner. There are many VACANT slots to fill, first come first serve!! For more information, please call 06308209652 or email brandishugart@hotmail.com and I will answer any question you may have. Many blessing to each of you!! -Brandi Shugart-

I leave you with the following:

A Miracle in You

The story is well known. A very large group of people, over 5,000, were following Jesus one day. They were listening to His teachings. The day was getting long, mealtime was past. Jesus and His disciples began discussing the question of feeding the crowd. Andrew spoke up saying, "There's a little boy here with a lunch of 5 barley loaves and 2 small fish."

Jesus replied, "Tell everyone to sit down." Then He took the lunch, gave thanks to God and gave it to His disciples to pass out to the people. When everyone had eaten and was full, the disciples gathered up twelve baskets of leftovers! A miracle was performed that day on the hillside because one small boy gave the little he had to Jesus.

How often we too possess a potential miracle. But, unlike the little boy, we do not yield it into the hands of Jesus to bless and use.

Have you ever felt like you have no talents? Or the talents you once used and enjoyed now seem lost somewhere in the busyness of car pools for the children, meals, diapers and dirty laundry?

Just as Jesus took those few loaves and fish and fed a multitude, He can also take our willingness to be used and touch other lives through us.

The little boy could have thought it absolutely pointless to ever offer such a small lunch when there were so many to be fed. He could have eaten the entire lunch himself and never known what a miracle was missed.

Let us be challenged by this small boy to offer to Jesus our talents, no matter how small WE feel they are. Let us not deprive ourselves, or others of seeing Jesus bless and use them.

John 6:8-10 - Then Andrew spoke up, "There is a youngster here with five barley loaves and a couple of fish..." "Tell everyone to sit down," ordered Jesus...Then Jesus took the loaves and gave thanks to God and passed them out to the people....and everyone ate until full. (Living Bible)
