Welcome to the world!
What a great week we had last week with four of our class members welcoming grandchildren into their families. Our warmest congratulations to Bill and Lois and Mike and Debbie! A brand new life give us all such joy and hope. What is it about a baby? They are disarmingly cute little people for one thing. They have not one pretentious bone in their bodies. Pretty much what you see and smell is what you get. I don't know about you, but the Doritos sling shot baby commercial was my absolute favorite during the Super Bowl. Babies are fearless yet completely and totally dependent on others to take care of them. I love how they have no problem staring you down in the grocery check out line. Babies are flesh and blood evidence that God is still in the business of life. They are brand new people to share His story with. Children will not judge how you share God's story with them and they have no preconceived notions as to the correct method. It's no wonder Jesus had a soft spot for children. Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Mark 10:14

Since Karla is writing about babies here... I wanted to let you all know that the Preschool Ministry (birth - Kindergarten), is in desperate need of help on Sunday mornings. Please pray about volunteering in this important and growing ministry. This area of our church has shown a large growth in the last year and they have an overflow of babies (maybe because of the January snow days last year!) At any rate, you can volunteer one week a month or even volunteer for the 5th Sundays in the year (I think there are about 5 of them). Want to practice being a grandparent? This is your chance. Call the Preschool Ministry to get your opportunity to serve new parents.
