Selfless Giving:
This Sunday was the first time I didn't go into worship with the adults, but spent the entire time with the children moving from one classroom to another. ( I hope to be able to do that at least once a month). Each class had its own tone, some more reflective and quiet, others more exuberant. While I am immensely grateful for all our teachers, I was struck this week by the number of teachers we have who teach, even though they have no children or grandchildren in our church school program. They are models of selfless giving to me - of giving beyond themselves for the good of the larger community. They teach with joy, they teach out of a place of deep faith, they live out their baptismal coveanant - to love and accept every member of our community. To these teachers, I give thanks.
