The Violet Connection 30

Introducing the Growing Families Ministry One of the greatest blessings God gives is the gift of children. Whether a family is expecting through pregnancy or preparing to welcome a child through adoption, those months of waiting are often filled with excitement, anticipation, questions, and prayer. We are excited to introduce the Growing Families Ministry, a new ministry designed to walk alongside families during this special season.

Our desire is simple: no family should walk through this journey alone.

When a family joins the ministry, they will be paired with a prayer partner who will intentionally pray for them throughout their waiting season. We want every expectant parent to know they are loved, supported, and covered in prayer by their church family. After the arrival of their child, we will celebrate with a welcome basket and help parents become familiar with resources available at Violet, including our nursery and Violet Kids ministries. We hope to provide encouragement, answer questions, and help families feel connected as they enter this new stage of life. Psalm 127:3 reminds us, "Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him." We are grateful for the opportunity to celebrate these precious gifts and support the families who are raising them. If you are expecting a child, pursuing adoption, or would like to serve as a prayer partner in this ministry, we would love to hear from you.

Introducing Our Overflow Youth Summer Intern, Brady Pennington Brady has attended Violet for 13 years and graduated from Overflow Youth Ministry in 2025. He has served as a Junior High Youth Leader for five years and has a gift for connecting with junior high boys. Whether playing basketball or football together or leading Bible studies, our students relate to Brady because he loves God and genuinely loves them. Brady recently completed his first year of college at Wright State Lake Campus, where he played baseball. While serving at Scioto Hills Summer Camp, Brady began to sense God's call to explore full-time ministry. This summer, Brady will be serving with our Junior High and High School Youth Ministries in a variety of capacities. In addition to attending Super Summer, he will teach in youth groups and serve at summer camp. He will also spend time at the church during the week to get a "behind-the-scenes" look at ministry. Please pray that God will continue to make His calling clear to Brady and use him to make an impact for His Kingdom!
