Sunday was a very special day for the children's ministry of FBC-- we hosted a Valentine's Banquet to honor the Senior Adults in the church. The turnout what phenomenal and our kiddos did a superb job of serving drinks, plates, desserts, coffee, and most of all entertaining! Thanks so much to Earl & Jill Aycock who performed as Sonny & Cher, Cheryl Gressett, Paulette & Alana Jones and Barry Germany for helping entertain our senior adults. Also, I can't say thank you enough to Sharon McMullen, Sandra Dennis, Debbie Ivey, Daphne Calhoun, Lou Ann Lamar, Nancy Gibson & Lisa Powell for all of your help in preparing lunch, decorating, cleaning up, etc. We couldn've have done it without you!! Enjoy the slideshow!
I receive a mini-devotional text message from a deacon in our church each and every morning. This morning's devotional said:
Matthew 23:11-12-- "The greatest among you will be your servant. For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted." -- We often think of servanthood as a submissive role with less than desirable connotations. Instaed, we should remember that "the greatest among you will be your servant"... Servanthood isn't a punshiment, it's our calling and our responsibility as Christians. Let's seek ways in which we can serve and make ourselves available to others... remember that "serve" is a verb!
WOW!! What a great devotional to follow up from yesterday's event! Our senior adults do so much for our church and it is so important for us to take time and show them how much they are appreciated! I think they enjoyed themselves greatly!
