A Word from Rev. Susan Skaggs,
Children's Ministry Circuit Coordinator


As we start our second year of minstry, I am reminded of how all this began.  Your D.S. has such a heart for children; when we first started talking about ways we could support small membership churches in quality children's ministry. Paige's ideas just flowed with a vision that truly  comes from experience and heart.  Our goal is to raise indigenous children's ministers who will lead their congregations in the nurture of children and families to Christ.  This is truly a "God thing".  He brought the idea, the people, and the plan together at the right time and the right place for His children.

The United Methodist Church is a connectional denomination and partners in the ministry to transform the lives of children into a life- long walk with Christ.   All of our District's children's leaders, staff or volunteer, are welcome to participate in our quarterly luncheons, monthly devotions by email, and receive  our "C. L. E. A.R. (Children's Leader Events and Resources) Newsletter of upcoming events.  We are strengthend when we connected in spirit and knowledge, and we are renewed when we see God at work in our congregations through the lives of children.

Churches can contact me with questions on facilites, programming, curriculum, or resourcing and I will help in any way I can.
 
Thank you for all the work you do!
Susan
