How did you
two (as a team) get involved with EC Ministry?
We have always been best friends and
have always loved kids. Our parents were also best friends and worked in the
daycare so we would help them when we were young until we were old enough to
have our own class as a team. When we were in middle school we started volunteering in the children's ministry whenever we could. We were always eager
to help work with the kids at our church! I would say we have been serving
together for about 7 years. We know each others strengths and weaknesses
in teaching a classroom and we just get along really well.
How long have you been serving together?
Since we were
about 13!
Why do you two make such as great team?
I
think it's because we are best friends and know each other's strengths. We take
turns telling story and disciplining or playing with the kids and it works out
great!
Why do you
serve?
Because I love the kids and remember how much
I learned about God as a kid here at first assembly and want to be that kind of
teacher that the kids see God in.
Why should
others serve?
Because it's not too time consuming and most of all it's rewarding. Even if and
when it's stressful!;) When kids learn it makes me happy. Others
should serve because it makes you feel so accomplished after the service ends, and everyone goes home. It makes you feel good about yourself in that you
are serving the church in some way. It is fun to serve with a best friend
because you can laugh together at the funny comments kids might say and take
away memories that you won't get anywhere else.
Why is
it fun to serve with a best friend?
Because when the kids say or do
something funny or cute, you wanna share it with your best friend! Plus if one
of you I late, the other one knows to bring you a coffee. ;)
What is the
best part?
Seeing
the kids recite the verses and sing the songs or remember something you taught them. Some of
these kids only see Jesus at church
so it's nice to be apart of that.
Tell me a
story that you will never forget concerning serving as a team?
There
isn't one specific memory that stands out since
we've been doing this so long! But every day is different and that makes it
fun!
