In elementary, Mrs Ruby was just sitting down with her small group when her allergies started acting up. They were so bad she had to leave class as the other leaders took over. During small group time the students have the opportunity to write down a prayer request, a question or a comment. Two girls in Mrs Ruby's group chose wrote this on their paper; "Help Mrs Ruby get better and pray for her." and "Pray for Mrs Ruby to get better." WOW!! A third grader and a fifth grader decided to put themselves aside and pray for their leader! That's the kind of stuff that brings a tear to my eye! Students who are "getting it!!" Christ-like examples at such a young age!
But wait! There's more!
Right before the baptisms began, I see all the AWANA leaders and students filing in to support their friends. As Lucia, Grace, and Avery were making their way to Pastor Rick, their friends were cheering them on and watched with amazement! CONGRATULATIONS to Lucia, Grace, and Avery on your baptism! We are so proud of you! Thank you Jennifer and each AWANA leader for giving up your club time to be there!!
See, I told you it was an amazing Sunday!!
