The Violet Connection 24

There are so many wonderful things happening in VioletKids that it’s hard to choose what to share!

On December 7th, the VioletKids sang in both services. The time leading up to the singing was almost as sweet as the performance itself. Throughout the entire month leading up to that morning, the VioletKids space was filled with music. It was such a blessing to hear each group practice. Some classes were led by faithful teachers who gently encouraged little voices, while others were joyfully filled with a “joyful noise.” Each week, I heard stories of kids practicing in the car, inviting family members to church, and even a few who were a little nervous about being on stage.

As the morning unfolded, there were several groups that made the day truly special.

Volunteers: The number of volunteers who arrived early with smiles, ready to sing along, encourage, and guide the kids, was such a blessing. These volunteers truly love Jesus and love children. Watching them serve our church made my heart so happy. Security: Most of you don’t even know they’re there—but they are! Their diligence in keeping our kids safe is a blessing to me both as a mom and as the Children’s Director. They were the quiet support that ensured everyone got where they needed to be and back again without any issues. Family and Friends: You didn’t hear the whispers or see the smiles that I saw. The kids walked into the sanctuary looking for you. They turned to their friends to announce when they spotted you, waved, smiled, and understood that you were there to support them. It was such a beautiful moment to see their faces light up and then look out to a sanctuary filled with love. Last, but certainly not least—the VioletKids: You did an amazing job! You were brave, you stood in front of the church (twice!!!), and you sang with joy. You shared the true meaning of Christmas—Jesus! Your friends and family are so proud of you, and so am I. I am so thankful that God allows me to spend my Sunday mornings with you, because you are truly wonderful. Jesus loves you, and so do I!!!!
