Kids Konnection
Prayer Request
Hello Everyone,
It seems like the year just begins and before you know it we have hit the halfway mark...meaning the educational year halfway mark. Wow! Thank you for supporting the ministries so far this year.
I wanted to reach out to all of you and ask for some prayer support. Our ministries take a lot of planning and people to make things happen. Many of you are a part of that, and things could not be done without you. We also have directors and coordinators that are passionate and dedictated to helping our ministries run the best way they can. We are always trying to learn and are grateful when we have learning opportunities present themselves.
On January 12, 2019 eight of us will be heading to a ministry conference in Orlando.
Rachel Katje (Church Administrator)
Vonnie Verduin (High school ministries Director)
Kaylee Roodvoets (Middle school ministries Director)
Kim Didrichsons (Kids Hope Director)
Jenni Timmer (Women’s ministries Director and GEMS ministries head counselor)
Katie Ruis (Fellowship Director, Children’s check In coordinator)
Megan VanGoor (Inclusion Ministries Director and Take T.W.O.s coordinator)
And Jen Sterk (Children’s Ministry Director)
This conference offers so many opportunities for each of us. It is put on by the INCM (International Network of Children’s Ministry). The sessions are based on leadership, creativity in ministry, ministry models, family and intergenerational discipleship, outreach, practical children’s ministry, spiritual formation, technology and media, tough topics and volunteers. We have chosen our breakout sessions and are so excited to learn and take away new knowledge. Our prayer for this is to grow and learn together. Also, we look forward to the general sessions where we will worship and take in what the speakers have prepared. The theme for the conference is Rhythms of Grace.
We’d like to ask you to pray for us! There are a lot of details involved and planning for 8 women to leave home, and families for a week. There are husbands, children, home responsibilities and work schedules to coordinate. It is a blessing that we are given this opportunity but also takes some work. We ask that you would pray for those things to run smoothly.
Also, we ask that you pray for:
Open hearts
Minds free to concentrate on learning
Safe travels
Anxiety
We look forward to what this conference will bring to our ministries. We are thankful for the opportunity that Providence has given us to grow and learn.
Thank you or supporting us and the ministries here. We are blessed to serve with such an amazing church family.
