I volunteer at New Life Covenant Church (Children
Ministries): Kids-4-Jesus. The lesson that was given demonstrated after
everybody walk out on you, reject you, or does not want to be bother with you;
God is always there to show you unconditional love. It also showed treat others
how you want to be treated, and do not judge before getting to know the
individual. Working with the other staff we had to come together as one to make
sure the children understand but make sure it was age appropriate. The children
learned when they interacted with their peers it would be different from how
other children their age would handle the situation. For example if a child
goes to school with a child that is behaving badly he or she will try their
best to be friends with that individual. They have learned from church that everyone is
different in their own way and realize we still have to treat them with
respect.
After volunteering in the Children Ministries our
children still need our attention. Just like adults children have hurt and
pain. The children deal with their feelings different than adults. Even though
these children come to church they still are growing and learning. I have to
remember all children are not the same and no matter how I try to put them in
the same category they still are unique. Some of the children need one on one
whiles other would try to be a teacher helper. But they are next future
leaders. The bible teaches us “Train a child in the way he should go, and when
he is old he will not depart from it”.
