This Sunday was a great way to start off the New Year (well the second Sunday of the New Year). At our new member meeting in the library we welcomed three families into membership. While we welcome new members of any age, it is wonderful to see more young children coming into our church family. The three families together accounted for nine children! And the three elders who were present are also young parents adding four more children represented in that room!
I am so grateful for the priority that children's ministries have received here at PCMK. The word is out. This is a great place to bring your kids to learn and grow in faith. They obviously are having fun too! The challenge will be to find the right person to continue this excellent Christian Education program into the future as Angie Kung and Lynn Lucas are retiring in June :(.
Tim Byrne (another young parent) is the elder in charge of Christian Education and he has put together a great search committee to begin the process of looking for that next director.
If you know someone who loves kids and has skills for the position, please talk to Tim or me. We would be interested in talking to anyone who may have potential for this.
In the meantime we are having a great winter term of Sunday School, youth group and confirmation. I just had the first "official" confirmation class on Sunday and these are 10 great young people coming early to learn and grow in their faith.
This is going to be a year of growth for us at PCMK--in more ways than one!
Pastor Dale
