It’s not quite a Timothy and Dorcas class and it’s not all out nervousness but it’s a little of both. Several of our young men participated in all aspects of worship for the Martin Boyd residents. They led the singing, read scripture, said prayers, served communion, and brought the lessons. With behind the scenes help from parents, they did an outstanding job. These young men displayed their talents and some broke new ground by doing something they had never done outside of our Children’s Ministry.
Not to be left out, the girls in that age group made Valentine cards for the residents during class the Wednesday before and came to Martin Boyd to hand them out to the individual residents. Both the residents and the girls had big smiles on their faces with the exchange of the cards.
It was a service for the residents, a proud moment for the parents, and an accomplishment for the young men. Some were disappointed they were out of town and not able to participate and all were excited at the opportunity. They loved the idea of serving others but sometimes you’re just glad to have a scary activity behind you. Until next time, then you can draw on the past experience and realize that it’s definitely something you can do again. Thanks to all that participated, attended, and encouraged these leaders of the future.
