I was talking to Deena Gilliam, our Preschool Director, the other day about opportunities that will arise when we add the third service to our schedule on Sunday mornings. She later emailed me this:
We have had such great growth in the Preschool area. I have been praying that God will send the right people to partner with us for these little ones. Andrea and I don’t really want people who are skilled teachers or have a lot of experience necessarily, we just want people who are willing to smile and love on these kids. Many of our volunteers are so different from each other. They are restaurant owners, nurses, teachers, home makers, project managers, engineers, computer programmers, physicians, physicians assistants, etc. I love that about us! We have one thing in common-we want to serve God by loving these kids.
As I work on the schedule to make sure these kids are cared for in their area, I realize that the key to make sure these classes have adults ready to smile and care for these kids is when they are served by a Life Group. The toddler B class is covered every Sunday for first hour and these group members get to serve together-- and they are having a lot of fun! I want that for the preschool classes too! Our biggest need is in the 3’s and 4’s classes. 2nd and 3rd hour are the biggest needs. ( 3rd being the biggest need). Maybe these groups would like to serve together and be on mission together as a group.
I am excited to see how these groups impact our WOW area and the creativity they will bring to the classroom!

So- who's in? Talk to your group members and cast a little vision for serving this way- together, and significantly impacting young hearts. There are many great ways to make a Kingdom impact- and this is a major one. You may email me or Deena directly to get your group plugged in!
Thanks for latching your group on to what God is doing at Crosspointe!
