St. Luke’s South Campus launched with our Children and Youth Ministry with the hope and aspirations of making disciples of Jesus Christ. We are moving toward the mark. The summer months have yielded exciting lessons and new beginnings.
Our “Prime Time Live” lessons for the past eight weeks have led to a cohesive understanding of Jesus’ sermon on the mount. Each Sunday, I make a point to visit the classes and ask questions concerning their lesson for the day. The Sunday when the lesson focused on the fifth Beatitude, “Blessed are the merciful for they will be shown mercy,” I asked each class what is mercy? God’s Toddlers (ages 2-4 answered, “Mercy is Love,” Noah’s Arc (ages 5-8) responded, “When you love others with your heart”; and God’s Ready (ages 9-12) were eager to let me know that mercy is when “A life is spared”. It gives me great joy to know that our children and youth are excited about learning and express their understanding.
We are blessed to have teachers and leaders who are dedicated and committed to assist in training our children in the way they should go. “Oh the joy that floods my soul.”
Next, we’re pressing on and starting a Children’s Youth Choir and Praise Dance Team. The response to participate in Praise, Worship & Dance has been great. Thank you parents and families for entrusting your children and youth to share in the new thing God is doing at the South Campus. For more information, contact Pastor Terri Phillips @ 214 499-4454.
