Kingdom Kids and Extreme Year-end Wrap Up

Two families have really put their hands and hearts into a ministry that has brought a lot of joy and purpose to kids.

Debbie and Peter Van Wirt, with daughters Zoe and Stephanie, and Charlie and Brenda Lane with sons Chip and Craig, worked with the PRC2 Puppet Ministry for 4 years. Peter and Charlie did technical things like rigging up black lights for the glow-in- the-dark fuzzy dancing puppets and helping wire sound equipment and staging, as well as moving equipment when the troupe went offsite to competitions in Denver. Debbie and Brenda did everything from teaching choreography and puppetry technique to costuming and set design. If it needed to be done, these families did it!

“They brought a lot of enthusiasm and creativity that completed the leadership team. That aspect will be missed as much as the four puppeteers that went with the families’ participation.” Frank Hammitt, founder and leader of the PRC2 team said.

The 5th graders of Pulpit Rock Church graduated into the Middle School ministry Sunday during the first Extreme 5th grade graduation ceremony. Proud parents were introduced by their graduates (surprisingly, many parents of 5th graders had the same names, “Mom and Dad”) and the graduates were challenged by Sandy Ramsey to let Jesus be their compass in the journey ahead.

Mark Tuggle welcomed them into the Middle School ministry with a full schedule of fun summer activities beginning next weekend with their introduction to the Middle School class at 9:30 in Room 115. Then after being presented with their own compass, the graduates were prayed for and released to enjoy the many delicious snacks provided by the 4th and 5th grade parents.

Children’s Ministry and Kingdom Kids will miss our beloved 5th graders and we wish them the best in the exciting years to come.
