In case you missed it on Sunday, I'm excited to re-share the announcement I gave during the service about the future of Kids Ministry at Freedom. Keep reading... God is good, all the time!

______________________________
As you know, we marked the end of Margaret’s 16 years of ministry at Freedom two weeks ago. We are officially without a Children’s Ministries Director at this present moment. This is not ideal, of course, because we have a deep desire to pour into the next generation and provide great leadership for our Kids Ministries. The advantage we’ve had is that I’ve known for almost two years that this was coming and more than that, God saw it *way* before I ever did.
Over the past few months, I have been interviewing an excellent candidate for this role and am so pleased to announce that starting September 1st, Theresa Capson will become our new Children’s Ministries Director.
Theresa is married to Matt and is a mom of 5 kids ranging in age from 13 to 25 and is also a nana to two grandkids. The Capsons were part of our church between 2012 and 2016 (and Matt served on the board) and then moved to the US for Matt’s work. They moved back to Kitchener last summer, 7 years later, and it’s been great to have them at Freedom again.
Theresa has been serving in Kids Ministry (again) since the end of last year and is already familiar with our church’s core values and culture. This is a huge benefit to us and to her as she comes on staff in the fall. Her resume is filled with the extensive training and experience she has working with kids.
Ethan, Erin, Kaitlin and I are all excited for Theresa to get started and to see how God will use her uniquely in this role. She’s not filling anyone’s shoes - that’s not really possible, is it? She’s got big dreams in her very own shoes and I know God is going to bless her ministry and our Freedom Kids and Ministry Team through her.
Welcome, Theresa!
And also, as an added blessing and bonus, Wendy De Sousa has agreed to join us this summer to help fill in the administrative gaps in Kids Ministry. She’ll be in the office for 10 hours per week, taking care of the details and getting things set up for Summer Sunday School. She’ll also be here full-time during the two weeks of Kids Camp to assist Pastor Erin in running an excellent summer program.
Welcome, Wendy!
Isn’t God so good? He’s never surprised and He is always at work. It’s going to be a great new season of ministry here at Freedom.
UPDATE: construction has BEGUN. leave yourself some extra time to get here on sunday!
