Welcome to FaithPassing.
I hope this becomes a wayside for those of you who work hard to lead the children in your church and their families to love God with all their heart, mind, and soul. Leading Childhood Ministries can be filled with events, programs, recruiting, budgeting, and on and on. Stepping away from the path of your “To Do List” to reflect and consider what is really going on is likely the most valuable work you can do.
I hope that you find FaithPassing a good place to pull over and consider the “who, what, why, when, where, and how” of nurturing the children in your church to love and follow God.
