As I reflect on this past Sunday’s events, I can’t
help but get excited about what God showed Shell Point Baptist on the first
night of Awana. Last year we averaged 12-13 children and 13 youth in small
groups on Sunday nights. This past Sunday night we registered 23 children for
Awana and 14 youth for D-Groups. God is most certainly alive and working. I
believe perseverance pays off.
On Sunday August 14 we got together will all youth
and children’s leaders to discuss this year’s discipleship and make some
adjustments to this year. We began Sunday night August 21 with four round
tables spread out in the room and designated as Puggles, Cubbies, Sparks, and
TNT for registration. As the parents brought their children to Awana, they were
able to sit down at their child’s table to register them for this year’s club.
At 5:15pm all the club members walked over to the sanctuary for a brief opening
ceremony. Then at 6:00pm the members moved straight to their individual Bible
Study rooms. I am very proud of our Children and Youth Staff for allowing
things to run so smoothly.
I look forward to seeing what God will do through
our Awana Program this year as well as through our brand new D-Groups on Sunday
nights. We must recognize God’s presence is with us as believers, no matter the
method we choose to use. God’s Word tells us that where two or more are
gathered, He will be there among us.
In His Grace,
Pastor Russell
