Solace & New Attenders...

Solace

It's been a busy week-end for us. Friday night was the S.O.L.A.C.E appreciation Dinner. The dinner was held to honor all the childcare workers at KCBC.




Solace stands for Serving Our Leaders And Child Educators. The team was formed to help show appreciation to those that serve our children. Some have served for many many years, some only a few. Regardless, they are all needed and valued. Without their efforts, many could not attend church.


We have some great workers, that are soooo dedicated to loving the kids that attend. They not only love them, they are committed to teaching them how much God loves them. Often the rewards for working in children ministries are not immediate...they usually come later...much later. Sometimes into adulthood....after someones has had a divorce, loss of loved one, financial problem or sickness. They seem to reflect back on their Sunday school or AWANA days...on the words that were spoken there...the verses that were memorized. Their words do not fall on deaf ears. We are so grateful for those that give of their time and talent to care for these little ones!

New Attenders Dinner
Sunday, after the morning service, we have been hosting a New Attenders Dinner. We invite those that feel they are 'new attenders' to KCBC. This is our third one, we are planning them quarterly.

They have been well received and attended. This time we had 6 new families join us, as well as 3 out of 4 pastors families.

I think it gives people a sense of belonging and they seem to fit in better after connecting with a few people.

Thanks to all those that helped with the meals...especially Sue.

childcare workers are the absolute best! it is great that you have such dedicated folks.. and even better that you realize it and acknowledge them publicly like you do! this was a nice story.

also, i blew up the newcomers picture and there's a pretty 'old' 'newcomer' you got there. nice work.
