Valentines Day...

Since I have been here I have been privileged to have an insight of what it means to be a part of a church staff. I feel like I have learned so much, and I have been truly blessed to work and interact with some amazing people. I know I’m continuously being stretched, as I continue to grow in my life and who I am. I have been learning to be a voice among other people- to share my opinion, my ideas, and to step out, not being afraid to be heard. I have a better understanding of different involvements that the church has, and the important roles the staff have within that. There is a lot of prayer, obedience, waiting, dedication, and organization in serving the church and having a willingness to be part of that. It is really interesting and giving me a new perspective of all the work that it takes to prepare. I have been able to help plan, pray- for the church and with others; coming in agreement before the Lord, healing and situations. It has been an amazing experience to be part of things that are taking place. I have seen first hand, God taking different needs into His own hands, and providing. God truly is a miracle worker, and a God that loves and cares! It is so important to remember not to underestimate God, but believe with all our hearts that He can, and He will!
Friday, February 16th, the youth held another fundraiser. This was a Valentine’s Day Fundraiser: It was a dinner that was prepared for couples. There were different responsibilities that the youth had, but they were able to work together, and make it all a great success. Some of them were in the kitchen cooking and preparing the food, while others were designated to tables, serving the meal, desert, drinks and refills. All of the youth provided entertainment. We had the worship team play some music and sing songs, the drama team presented a few skits, and the puppets were going to perform a puppet show. We turned the church sanctuary into a restaurant theme. We had tables decorated with candles and decorations. It was a blast, and the youth really stepped up and did an awesome job!

Be Blessed!
