“Kids In Motion” (putting their faith in action)!

Posted: December 17, 2008

Do you remember as a child climbing up on Santa’s knee and waiting for the question that you rehearsed how to answer all year long…”What would you like for Christmas”? With one long breath you would inhale and then with excitement and joy begin to list off the items on your wish list. Well, what happens when a Sunday School teacher asks their class…”how would you like to help someone this Christmas”? Without a wish book, color catalogue, or commercial to prompt their desire the class answers…”provide a coat for people who need one.!” That was it, the question was asked…the need identified…the solution simple…let’s have a coat drive!

Between Thanksgiving and December 7th the Danbom’s and the Davis’ 4th grade Sunday School class held a coat drive in their classroom. A class with an average attendance of 15 per week was able to collect 53 coats that were donated to a ministry in Sandy Springs for youth and children. The children were excited to share the love of Christ through the gift of warmth as they carried in coats to add to the collection. Children were given the chance to show the love of Jesus beyond the walls of the church by one simple question…”how would you like to help someone this Christmas”?

The question was asked, the children and families responded, and lives were touched. The children at Mt.Bethel United Methodist Church have taken our “Kids In Motion” mission focus beyond their classrooms on Sunday mornings and into our community and other countries with their generous hearts, willing spirit, and understanding of what it means to put “compassion into action”! We are excited to see our teachers, families and children connect through the power of service and love all in the name of Jesus!
