Thumbprint Tree

Our Children's Ministry recently had to say

goodbye to an

AWESOME

intern and his lovely wife.

It is not surprise to us...

...that this crazy guy got a job 

as a youth minister in Florida.

We are SO HAPPY for them-

but we are gonna miss them.

To send them off in style,

we threw them a little

Cinco de Mayo Farewell Party

in Children's Church this past Sunday.

We also wanted them to have 

something to remember us by,

but that would also continue to inspire them

in their ministry.

Enter...

...the Thumbprint Tree.

I got a canvas at JoAnn's 

and using a brown paint pen,

I created a funky tree outline.

After adding a few paper leaves,

all of...

...these precious kiddos

used different shades of green ink

to place...

...their thumbprints all over the tree

for leaves!

I also wrote the kiddos' names

next to their leaves...

...so Mr. Isaak and Miss Sarah

will always remember the kiddos

who helped start their ministry.

We also pray that God will continue to

"grow" their ministry

as they continue to serve him.

We love you guys!!!
