In twenty-twenty-three, we were once again so thankful to have an amazing children’s choir program with incredible volunteer leadership. Between myself (Pastor Wade), Alexis, and Michelle we were able to offer Sheila Reinheller, Eva (Sheila’s granddaughter) and their team the support they needed to offer a successful year of kids choir.
We are incredibly blessed and grateful for Hillcrest to be able to offer this type of program because of volunteer leaders. A lot of parents stepped up and supported the crew in new ways including supervision, administration, organization and serving snacks. We cannot do this without them!
Our goal with the children’s choir is to teach kids from a young age how important it is to worship; to give thanks to God in all circumstances. We want the times that the kids are involved to be more than a performance or a special number, but to be a time of young believers leading our church in a time of worship! We believe that there are life-long lessons being learned, and that these kids will be the future worship leaders in our church. Our desire is that they learn just how amazing God is, and who they are in Him.
The Kings Kids often are involved in special Sundays like Palm Sunday, Easter, and Mother’s Day. They will spend many weeks leading up to these Sundays preparing songs to encourage and lead the congregation with. But, the main event for the Kings Kids was the annual Christmas play. With weeks and weeks of preparation of sets/stage design, technical components, choreography, memorized lines and musical practice over 40 kids performed the musical “Christmas Express”, in which a no nonsense business man learns the true meaning of Christmas. This took place in mid December with hundreds of people experiencing the passion of the children and the message of Jesus over two nights. There were cookies and hot chocolate to follow and proud parents, excited kids, families and the community had an amazing time of fellowship so fitting for the season.
Please continue to pray and support these future leaders. I am so excited to see what God has in store for them!
