In Appreciation of Children’s and Youth Ministers - At churches all across our state,
ministers of children and youth are at fever pitch of high velocity activity. Summer may be their busiest time, but it
is certainly not their only busy time, for so many of them do a magnificent job all year long. During the summer with
Vacation Bible School, summer camps, trips, and special activities they are extremely busy. I recognize that not all
of our churches have full-time ministers reaching out to guide, help, and care for children and youth in the
fast-developing period of their lives and the days that are filled with so many major decisions. (more)

elephant to be something it was not because they were touching a different part of the elephant, one laid hands on the
smooth tusk, another had hold of the wispy tail, while the third felt only the elephant’s rough skin. They could not
know the entire elephant because they were limited in their experience. (more)

Do you remember as a child playing the game follow the leader? Wherever the designated leader went you went. Whatever
the designated leader did you did. Today’s lesson focuses on the importance of Christians following the leader: the Holy
Spirit. To be sure, His guidance always leads us toward God and unto godliness. Since Pentecost, the Holy Spirit of God
is not only with the Christian in every life endeavor, He actually dwells inside of the Christian, functioning as a
spiritual guide and compass. (more)
