Happy Thanksgiving Day?

Happy Thanksgiving Day!
But wait! What about the month? What about a Happy Thanksgiving month?! 
I’ve always enjoyed sharing Thanksgiving Day at church and with my family. But this year, I’ve decided to observe a personal thanksgiving month. I want to take some time and effort to say thanks to people who have been a such blessing [...]

Is Your Ministry a Starbuck’s?

October 23, 2009 – 9:45 am

We often, in a joking manner, refer to the Parent’s Day Out program in our church as a “Starbuck’s for Children.” Why? At Starbuck’s, customer service is called “personal hospitality” and is their #1 priority. They build a relationship with each customer. It is no secret that people feel special sipping a Starbuck’s drink, but it [...]

Fun, Friendly, Faith-filled Projects

September 18, 2009 – 9:40 am

s a preschool teacher in a Christian school, I get to create art projects for my students. I look especially for projects that are fun and faith-filled. Parents love to see what their children have created, so art projects can provide the perfect opportunity to share Jesus in a non-threatening way. Connecting an art project [...]

The Mission behind the Job

September 4, 2009 – 7:17 am

As a preschool teacher at a Christian school, one of my favorite passages comes from 1 Peter 5:2-3.
Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, . . . not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be, . . . not lording it over those entrusted to [...]

Keep in Touch with the Campus Crowd

August 25, 2009 – 6:35 am

My passion in life is making people feel special and especially kids. Some of those people are kids who think they are no longer kids—college kids.
