Rockin' Out for Jesus!

It's hard to even put in to words the love, energy, and innocence felt during our preschool's Children's Chapel. Our monthly worship service was held this morning, allowing our students, families, and staff to share in a wonderful time of worship together... an amazing way to start all of our days!

We started hosting our monthly Children's Chapel this past fall and are coming up on our final Chapel of the school year in May. It's been a year of learning, singing, dancing, praying, and praising God! We don't claim to do everything right and often think of our times together as organized chaos, but to see the light and love in the eyes of these young children it's easy to embrace and fall in love with. When one of our little kindergarteners takes the microphone to open us with prayer, everything else in the world just melts away.

Over the past year, I've been overwhelmed by comments and stories about the impact Children's Chapel has had on our parents and families. I love hearing our students rockin' out to "Walk in the Light of Jesus" or "Jesus You're my Superhero" as they walk out the door at the end of the school day. However, I didn't realize the impact a Chapel designed for children would make on the adults as well. When one man told me that his time worshipping with us had led he and his wife back to church after not attending for over 10 years, it was hard (for both of us) to stop the tears of joy from welling in our eyes.

I am humbled to be involved in such a positive ministry and have the opportunity to work with and for such incredible people. If you haven't had the opportunity to join us for Children's Chapel, I would encourage you to make time to worship with us on Friday, May 14th. The service will run from 9:15 - 9:40am at the Sunrise Early Childhood Center at 7551 Oaklandon Rd. Come ready to laugh, sing, and dance along with our ECC family as we rock out for Jesus!
