I have given myself a challenge for the next 26 days – post the complete A-Z of Ministry to Children.
W… water, witness, woah, wapenshaw…
W is for Welcome – One of the most important moments in your ministry to kids on a weekend is as they arrive. Not only kids but parents. How good is it for them to see their child welcomed like a champion, like one of the family. High fives all round, names remembered, discussions about what happened that week and also sometimes the injury of the week (for the boys usually).
It will probably be one of the only two moments during your program the parents get to see, the other being pickup.
When I see as a parent, my boy running into a room and welcomed well, it gives me a confidence and sets my mind at ease. It is no different for the parents we serve.
Your team can out do Disney and the biggest budgets in the world if their welcome is personal and fun!
