Parent Commitment Mother's Day 2009

Today is Mother's Day and is typically our largest parent commitment day of the year. Because of the flu scare we had a few less than we would have but parents still braved the "risk" and came on out with their little ones.

Here is a peek at what we do for this day. We have plans to do a few more things differently in the future to help parents understand why we do this. But for now this is the Milestone event that we want to share with you.

There is the arrival...

Some of us getting those last minute bites of breakfast muffin.

What the people in worship are looking over that they found in their worship guide.

What the parents are given when they walk in...

My list...with all the corrections and last name pronunciation assists :-)

Then the wait to walk in....

Peeking in and listening to see when we need to go in....

The choir is almost in place... so time to walk in..

What we see when we come onto the platform...people are welcoming each other.

About to start the presentation... I am up :-) whoopppss.

My lav was on mute. lol Sorry Heather.

Dr. Stephen praying for these sweet families and us as we journey with them in

this parenthood adventure.

Now to turn around and let the choir sing "May You Grow In His Likeness" to us.

The mommies always cry. I tear up too. Sweet song.

Waiting for the 2nd service Parent Commitment to start. Pure torture to an active 2 year old :-)

Parents waiting to go in. Trying hard to do those last minute clean ups and primping.

Barely miss the spit ups...but all is good :-)

And then we are all done and loving a special day that we had to share with our families and church family. Praying for Gods grace and guidance as we walk through each day in this parenting adventure.
