Why WOW?

God has been whispering in my ear for years to do ministry but in the meantime, I kept myself busy as a teacher and mother of 4 boys.  Having taught a little bit of everything, but really having early childhood on my heart, I bring a lot of gifts and ideas from the world of education with me into my ministry when I began to answer God's call to me in the spring of 2013.

Even with my background, I still found myself getting frustrated with my own children in worship.  In September 2014, my children were playing under the chairs at a family retreat during a Holden Evening prayer service.  I bent over to scold them but instead scolded myself.  Under the chairs, with a basket of flicker lights sat my 7 and 5 year old making a cross and having a worship service all their own.  It was then and there that I decided to be more intentional about not just bringing children to worship, but to find ways to help them fully participate in worship in meaningful, age-appropriate ways.

Join me on this journey as we together discover what it means to open our hearts, minds, sanctuaries and worship services to even the youngest of our worshipers.
