Off to a great start!

We have certainly had a great start to the school year here at The Compass! I can't believe we're already over a month into school. We have many of the same kids as last year, but a few new faces as well! It's been fun getting to know the new kids and watching the dynamics of this new group. Everyone seems to have adjusted well into the routine of school and The Compass.

It continues to be such a privilege to serve in this incredible ministry! Today, at church, Rob Henschen and Becky Branch shared about their experiences with The Compass; not only as parents of children who attend, but also as volunteers. It's so exciting to see how God can impact our lives when we choose to serve Him. The volunteers are doing an incredible job this year! And it never ceases to amaze me that when we try to touch the lives of these children and their families, we end up receiving a blessing as they touch our hearts!

I have really enjoyed the times we spend doing devotions with the kids! At times the kids wonder why we always do devotions, and it's so fun to explain to them why it's SO important to learn about Jesus and all that He's done for us! I love it when they "get it". It's also been really cool to see them praying for others. A day hasn't gone by when they haven't remembered to pray for Rob. They're so great!

I encourage you to get involved if you haven't already! As we approach the day that will mark a year since Lisa went home to be with Jesus, I am reminded of her dedication to Jesus and how greatly she impacted the lives of those around her. I pray that each of us will seek that kind of dedication to Him and work to reach out to those around us who don't know Him.
