No Memory of No Church

Over the past couple of months I have really enjoyed meeting with my new D-group of 6th grade girls.  I love how creative and playful and tenderhearted they are.  I think, because they are still apart of the elementary school and not part of the middle school, they do not know yet that it is uncool to like learning.  They are also the first of the children who have been promoted to youth group who truly don't remember a time when Sacred Road (aka: the church) was not a part of their lives.  All four girls are 11 years old, and have been with the ministry from its earliest days.  They were 2 and 3 years old when Sacred Road arrived on the scene.  This means that the majority of the kids in the children's ministry program were not even alive when Sacred Road was started.  We have a generation who do not remember a time when the church was absent from their community.  It is so wonderful to think about that fact.
