LIVING A SPIRIT-FILLED LIFE
+++++++++++++++++++++++

TEACH YOUR CHILDREN WELL!

Fr. PaulThis week I was blessed to teach and learn with new friends as part of our mutual ministry through the Vacation Bible School program with Kingswood United Methodist Church, St. Nicholas Episcopal Church, and St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. There was great fellowship, singing and dancing, storytelling, teaching, and learning by all. Thanks to Belinda Young-Payne and all the St. Thomas’s volunteers and participants, particularly my dazzling Queen Esther in rainbow sneakers, Nina Krauss.

As I reflected on this wonderful experience, the refrain of a song by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young floated in my head and heart – TEACH YOUR CHILDREN WELL. Our baptism calls us into sharing life serving our Triune God as lifelong learners and teachers – “Teach children in the right way, and when they grow old they will not stray.” [Proverbs 22:6]. Living a spirit-filled life is one that is ever growing and changing, a life in process and progress, constantly under construction. Our children need faithful men and women as teachers and mentors throughout life, and this begins in our faith community through YOU! You can help us by teaching for a term in our Children’s Worship program, or by offering a helping hand to a class.

You are never too old to teach or to learn. One of the greatest gifts our adult children remember of their years in church were those elders who mentored and cared for them genuinely and lovingly when their grandparents lived so far away. I thank those blessed saints who took time, care, and interest in Colin and Adrienne, that their faith as adults has been blessed by you – and you can be a mentor for a child of St. Thomas right now. Call Belinda Young-Payne soon, and we will see you in the classroom this Fall!

TEACH YOUR CHILDREN WELL begins at home with parents. Our spiritual home is called to form and shape them toward the good pathways for life as well. Come and join us in our journey of teaching and learning, now and always, together.

In peace always, your servant of Christ,
Paul+
