Looking for a great new opportunity to serve in a ministry at Lakota Christian Church? Look no further, KidsPointe Ministry has many opportunities coming this fall. As we are in the process of overhauling our elementary program, we have created some great new areas to serve. We will now have 2 main areas in the elementary department where we will need lots of adult or mature teen help.
One of our areas is HighGear where we offer high energy worship and our small group ministry. We will be looking for small group leaders for our kids. Each group will have no more than 10 kids in it and the groups will be the same all year long. Our kids need an adult who gets to know them and can minister to them throughout the school year. There is no teaching involved--that part will be led by our large group teachers. The small group leaders will lead small group activities. This will be discussions, games, or hands on activities. All supplies and items you may need to complete those activities will always be prepared and ready for you when you come into the room. The only thing a small group leader needs to focus on are the kids of their group. You just need to be a person who likes to have fun and wants to make a difference in the life of a child.
The second new opportunity is in our enrichment room that we are calling OverDrive. We will be looking for volunteers who can help facilitate activities where the kids get to choose what they want to do for that day. This room will be set up with centers that will be changed each month. The activities will correspond with the virtue that is being taught in HighGear for the month. We will also be focusing on the Wheel where we will give kids the opportunity to experience each aspect of the wheel. The kids will SEEK in our reflective station where they can listen to music and reflect what the song means to them through journaling or drawing a picture. They will be able to STUDY as we challenge them to look up scripture and participate in activities where they dive into the Word for themselves. They will be able to SERVE as we actually give them things that they can do to serve here at Lakota during the morning. Examples would be cleaning toys, pulling weeds, cleaning the communion trays. We will also give them opportunities to SHARE as they make crafts for nursing homes, write letters to sponsored children from another country, and learn more about the missions that our church sponsors. We are very excited about this room and will need many volunteers as we will be having an OverDrive room for each age group.
Check out our KidsPointe Volunteer Job Descriptions!! You will find opportunities like rocking a baby, playing with preschoolers, and welcoming new guests to hanging out with kids and making an impact on their life. We need all parents involved to pull this off in the fall. Now is a great time to get involved in one way or another. This is going to be so exciting and the kids are going to love it! Are you ready for an explosion in the kids department? I am and I can’t wait to see what God is going to do in the lives of our kids. I am excited for my own kids! I hope you are about yours too.
Serving Him along with you,
Tammy
