Thank-You Unsung Heroes

Each Sunday I am humbled by the numerous volunteers who show up early to make sure the lights are on, AC is blowing, doors are unlocked, coffee is hot, powerpoint is right, sound system is working, communion is prepared, Bible classes are staffed, etc..etc...Each of these elements are critical to our Sunday morning mission of connecting to the unconnected and caring for our people. To an outside spectator these actions may appear small and basically inconsequential. But each of these actions when offered to God becomes the building blocks to life change. Thank you to everyone who serves so willingly. You are making an eternal difference.
If there is an "unsung hero" from our church who is an example of Christ-like service to you, then I encourage you to post a "Thank-You" to them in the comment section.
God Bless
Scott

I remember how much Karan Whitt loved my babies in cradle roll. A tiny, sometimes smelly, usually thankless job, and she loved it and my children. You can't say 'thank you' enough for her or people like her -- like Melissa Prather and Donna Kelley -- that take on the role of loving and caring for our kids. I could go on, but I'll leave someone out -- I do remember Etiennette Morgan teaching both of my children in the 2's class, where I think Jan Middleton has ably picked up, and Etiennette teaching them French!

Thank you to the teachers, boo-boo kissers, diaper changers and general huggers that lead our children to love to come to church.
