Christ's Church Kids

So this weekend our Senior Minister is going to be preaching on Families. My lovely friend, Sara Manny put this video together to showcase our programs. She only had a weekend to put it together but she really did a great job!

AIDS

The problem with AIDS has really been weighing on my heart this year. I've been reading a lot of books by Donald Miller and Shane Clairborne and have really been convicted about what I do as a Christian. So many times we talk about God's love but we never show God's love especially to the people that need it the most. It's so easy to love and be kind to Christians in the chruch but how many of us actually are the church? And how many of us actually take the church outside of these four walls! It's so easy to get caught up in our own lives and never see the hurting people around us.

The Well (the alternative service at Christ's Church) has recently decided to start an organization to help people with AIDS and we are also going to sponsor an AIDS walk! My friend Brittany has played a tremendous role and I am so proud of her! She also sent me this video featuring Kay Warren. I was completely convicted....I want to live in three worlds!

New Resume

Ok, I think I may have completed my Resume. Everytime I think I'm done, i noticed something is off center, I misspelled a word or typed something twice....this is a headache. But here it is, drumroll please..........Tah Dah!

StoryTime and FITS

StoryTime and FITS are two programs I am in charge of. They are both outreach programs to stay at home moms with Preschoolers.

We have Storytime the first three Wednesdays of the month from 10-11am. We'll read stories and have activities for the first 30 minutes and then we have a craft and snack time. We always have a theme and the snack and craft go with the theme.



Fun In The Sun (FITS) is a cookout we have once a month (on the fourth wednesday) at a local park.

Church Video

Here's a video that our Executive Minister put together for a Sermon Series entitled "I AM Christ's Church." It's kinda cheesey, but it gives a good overview of what happens at our church. They happened to catch me leading worship in Rooftop, I'm the one in the black shirt and Khaki's.

Rooftop

Here's some pictures of when we did the Scooby Doo skit in Rooftop. Rooftop is our large Group for K-4th Graders. We use the 252 Basics as our Curriculum which is based out of Northpoint Community Church in Atlanta, Georiga. If you've ever gone to the GrowUp Conference or seen KidStuf, that's what we do on a much smaller scale. But we have live drama, singing, lots of media, lights, and fun!

Jingle Jam

JINGLE JAM 2007! Jingle was an event we held on November 30th in our Worship Center. The Curriculum we use, 252Basics, is now writting these programs for churches that they can put on four times a year. We used the Jingle Jam program to kick off our December virtue of PEACE and to showcase or Mainstreet and Rooftop Elementary Program. Mainstreet is what we call our small group hour and Rooftop is what we call our large group hour.

All in all, Jingle Jam was a great event! We had over 2,300 people there! And 25% of our attenders did not have a church home, We used "Frosty" as our hook and we paraded him all over our church, community events, and even on a local news station. My favorite aspect of Jingle Jam was "The Little Drummer Boy." It's the picture on the bottom left. We had a soloist sing the first verse of the song, and it was really slow and beautiful. Then we had one of our middle school boys, dressed in an old drummer boy costume, come walking up the middle aisle playing a drum. By the time he reached the stage we had the mandarin high drumline dressed as STOMP playing trashcans, and then we ended on a really powerful note with the music, trashcans, and our drummerboy all at once! It was amazing. We actually stole the idea from my old church Calvary Chapel (don't worry I called and asked permission). You can look up the orginial on youtube if you just type little drummer boy and Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale.

Resumes

Ok, I've offically decided that I hate writting resumes. So many people give you so many suggestions and I just feel lost. I've never had to write a resume before. I've always gotten hired because I knew someone or from a previous job performance. I've made my best attempt at writting a resume and here they are. I really wanted a creative looking resume because I want it to show my personality a little. But I also realize that a lot of people don't like that, so this is what I got. I'm probably going to make several more. I wasn't able to fit all my past job experience and references on one page :o(

Here's the more creative one:
