Limitless

Children’s Ministries

What a year! There have been so many times when I’ve wondered if I’d been transported into some kind of action movie where there’s people trapped in their home during a pandemic while someone runs around saving the day. Mind you, in this scenario I am definitely not the hero! Not even one of the main characters. Just a barely seen extra trying to get through each day with minimal tantrums and tears (from both myself and my kids!).

But while much of this year has seemed like an uphill battle, there have been reasons to celebrate and I have no doubt our kids will remember this time in their lives. For those with kids at school, we now have a whole new level of appreciation for our teachers!

One of the things that has been most incredible to see is the way that parents and churches have still prioritised their kids’ spiritual development. In a time when we all just wanted to go hide under the covers and wait till the year was over, parents have been spending time helping their children to know and love Jesus even more. To rely on Him through this tough time. Sabbath School teachers have invested time each week making sure

that kids still get to experience something special on Sabbath. That it is still a day where we put aside the rest of the week and focus on Jesus.

It’s been such a steep learning curve, figuring out how to do everything online. I’m so grateful to all the Children’s Leaders who have put so much time and effort into doing this. Who have gone the extra mile to make sure the kids stay engaged.

We are not limited by our circumstances, because we have a God who is bigger than anything we can experience here on Earth.

Continue to let God be your guide as we navigate this weird and wonderful world we live in!
