C3 Rocks

We had another great day at church today. I did not get to go to service because it was my week to teach my three year olds. We had two new little boys in our class today. The mom was worried because this was their first time at church and she was not sure how they would do. They came in the room fine but I could tell they were a little nervous. I have a little boy in my class who is so cute and is so sociable and kind to the kids. The first thing I did was to introduce Hayden to the two new boys. Of course Hayden loved that and was so sweet to them. By the end of the class the new boys were so excited about coming to church and when I asked our kids if God loved them then both raised their hands. God is so good and even a three year old little boy can make a difference in the lives of others with Christ's love. Why can't adults love new people in the church as quickly. I think we could all learn a lesson from Hayden.
I am so proud that our church is reaching unchurched families for Christ. So many Christians say they believe in the great commission and leading others to Christ but do they really. I think Don said it perfectly when we were talking about this very topic. He said, " is it really fishing men if the fish you are fishing have already been caught, I think that is just stealing church members from other churches." I am thankful that God gave us a pastor who wants to reach the lost fish and not just the ones who have been caught already.
