One of our adult leaders called me last week to let me know what a fabulous job the student leader working with her was doing. So, I wanted to acknowledge the student leader’s service with a personal note. Here’s an edited version of what I wrote:
Dear [Student Leader},
I wanted to let you know how wonderful it is to have you serve as a student leader in [Children’s Ministry]. I’ve heard how great you are with the children – how you welcome them, help them get settled, how you make them laugh and how helpful you are to [the adult in charge].
Keep up the good work. Serving as a student leader is a big responsibility. When children come to church, it is our opportunity to share God’s love with them. That opportunity is a gift from God, one that is very important and one that we must take very seriously.
You are doing a fabulous job of sharing Jesus with the [children] and we are blessed to have you on our team. You are awesome!
Love,
Miss Kathie
Do you have students serving in your ministry? How can you encourage them this week?
This is great. It’s good to be reminded of the many ways we need to encourage one another. Thanks for sharing!
Amen! Thanks for reading.
Kathie,
I love how much practical wisdom you have as well as Spiritual wisdom. You’re a fierce leader. I pray that God would continue to enlarge your borders.
Thank you!
