Volunteers

Another Sunday has come and gone here in Velocity, and I got to spend time with some of the most dedicated folks at NewPointe. The small group leaders who work with grade level kids are on every Sunday morning. Our goal is to provide someone, outside their family, who is going to build into a child's life. To do that, it requires a lot of time and a lot of energy, and we have a lot of kids! At the old building, it was about 90 kids a morning spread over two hours. Here at NewPointe, we have around 250! It's an incredible blessing and an incredible challenge. I'm so thankful that my volunteers have hit the hill running. Kids are excited to come through the doors every Sunday and one of the reasons is the small group leaders make it fun to get to know God! So a HUGE thanks to everyone who serves in Velocity. Both the kids and I know how much work you're doing and it's appreciated. THANKS!
