A person is needed to welcome the Kids Club members, oversee the sign-in sheet, and issue nametags and treats to the children. Other people are needed to supervise the youngsters during the actual class time. If 4 or 5 people would volunteer to help supervise once a month, that would really take the pressure off Jim and allow him to do what he does best teach and minister to the little ones in our Middlebury neighborhood.

Something to Ponder THE WORLD IS TOO MUCH WITH YOU, MY CHILD. Your mind leaps from problem to problem to problem, tangling your thoughts in anxious knots. When you think like that, you leave Me out of your world-view and your mind becomes darkened. Though I yearn to help, I will not violate your freedom. I stand silently in the background of your mind, waiting for you to remember that I am with you. When you turn from your problems to My Presence, your load is immediately lighter. Circumstances may not have changed, but we carry your burdens together. Your compulsion to fix everything gives way to a deep, satisfying connection with Me. Together we can handle whatever this day brings. Isaiah 41:10; Zephaniah 3:17; Psalm 14:19 - from Jesus Calling Enjoying Peace in His Presence by Sarah Young
