Pretend to not be tired…

Feeling a little sluggish during prayer meeting before your Sunday Service? Put it off! You’re there to serve the kids, parents and most of all our King. You’re there to give your best, not half best, regardless of how you feel.

From the wise words of James Tregonning today at Team Time, “you be tired just don’t show it!”. No matter what you feel like, give it your best, God is waitng ready to give you everything you need. In your weakness He is strong.

Room Managers

If you’re lucky like us to have your own building then you’ll know about mess. It builds up week after week, event after event.

Just like a family home LifeKids shares our whare (pronounced farey – house) with Urban Youth, Revolution, Sunday Morning Church and loads of other stuff that happens each week. Just like a family home we need to take responsibility for our mess. If we leave it tidy it’s easier for other groups to leave it tidy when they’ve finished.

We have assigned a “Room Manager” to each space – someone reliable to make sure that the room is left incredibly tidy after each use. There shouldn’t be anything left in there except furniture and a few things that get used weekly – and they need to be super tidy.

If you’re anything like me and you have a million things to remember during a service and are useless at remembering names at the best of times, this is for you…

Keep a notebook and pen (or some other fancy pants device) in your pocket before and after church.  Take a fe moments to note down the names of new families as you meet them (not right in front of them of course!). Pray for them during the week and make sure you personally greet them (both parents and kids) next time they come. Its amazing the impact that remember someones name has.
