Yesterday I had the opportunity to participate in a Student Ministry Parent & Guardian luncheon. David Reed, our Student Minister, asked me to prepare a list of Enrichment Center books for parents and guardians. I followed up asking if I could be there with some of the books. When I got there to set up, he asked if I would share information about the Enrichment Center at the end of the luncheon.

- One of the funny experiences was a parent commenting to me in a surprised voice "Look at all these recent books!" I took that to mean she thought we only had out of date books on parenting.
- A stressful experience was coming up with what I was going to say at the end. I ended up basing my 3 minute time on EC connections to what the main speaker shared.
- Awkward and embarressing moment was forgetting one of our best users names.
- And a thrilling moment was when David kept thanking me for a great job! He said "Let's do this again!"
- Most hopeful thought is seeing these parents and their kids use the Enrichment Center. Our location is a long way from the Enrichment Center.
My next age group ministry opportunity is December 9 when I get to read a book with preschoolers during their Preschool Christmas Party.
How about you? Please share your age group ministry opportunities and connections.
