Newsletter Article May 7, 2008

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
This Monday morning at 10:30 a.m., I was at my usual place, Dallas Elementary School, mentoring. I have enjoyed starting my week with a young boy who enjoys my company as well. Each week we would read a new book, add entries to his journal, and talk about all things. I got to cheer him on when tests came around, help him in school work, and most of all, just be there as a friend and a role model. This was my first year as a mentor, and I look forward to next year and years after that.
Jesus says to “bring the little children unto Him,” so that they can know Him and know that He loves them. We do not have to preach to them or speak great words of wisdom; we just need to be there and allow them to see the love of Christ through us.
This school year has ended and next year will soon begin, and I am asking you to come along with me for a time of your life. Please pray about being a mentor to a child at Dallas Elementary next year and give the gift of Christian love. It is only once a week and you pick the day that is right for you. Come see me if you have any questions. There are children who need you and so does God. Come and let’s bring the children unto Him.
Pastor Michael
