If you have been in church in the past few weeks you have heard Rob preaching about “360 Apprentice”. This year part of our vision for the church is to become apprentice’s of Christ. We are learning what that looks like, how to do it and what it means to become an actual apprentice of Christ.
In children’s ministry this year we are also taking on the concept of apprentice. In the Spring we began to focus on 2 Timothy 2:1-3. But more specifically verse 2; And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful people who will also be able to teach others.
In this verse we see Paul saying, I am now teaching you, and you are to take it to your faithful followers so they might take it even farther on to other people. This is a structure of apprentice’s. Timothy apprenticed under Paul, and now Paul is telling him to apprentice his faithful so they might continue teaching others about Christ. This year we have set up this very system. We have many many wonderful teachers in your kids class rooms. We love them, your kids love them. If you did not get a chance to read about them the links to their biographies are at the bottom of this post. Each of our teachers has worked very hard to learn how to teach children spiritual truths in concrete, imaginative, and age appropriate ways. Because they are so good at what they do, we want to spread their knowledge about teaching kids, their wisdom from experience, and their passion for Christ into others at CCC.
We spent the Summer asking God to give us at least five apprentices’, one for each class. And guess what? I’m about to introduce you to our five apprentices’ serving under all of our Core Teachers this year. Praise God!
Tonight I want you to meet Jami Lash:
How long have you been attending CCC? I have been attending CCC since Fall of 2011.
What do you do here in Gainesville? I am a sophomore at UF studying History. I’m involved with RUF campus ministry.
What do you like to do, any hobbies? I enjoy playing volleyball, swing dancing, swimming, hanging out with friends, and meeting new people! 🙂
What is your favorite part of teaching kids? I love being in the classroom with the kids! It takes me away from the college life, and I get to enter into whats going on in their lives a little bit each Sunday morning. Clara
is great and has so many great examples to demonstrate the lesson. I really enjoy listening to all her personal examples, and being reminded of the Bible’s powerful truths! Â I have just begun to get to
know her, but I can already tell she has lived quite a remarkable life for the Lord. Â I am blessed to be able to come be with the 4&5th grade class on Sunday mornings!
