I mentioned this weekend that change is a part of life, and this time change is moving someone on to the next chapter of their life. Maria Shellhart, the one in the green shirt and sunglasses, offered us 15 years of loving, caring and joy-filled ministry at Community. For the past several years she has overseen our 1st-5th grade ministries.

She said, although she’ll eventually be moving from Hemet, she loves this Valley and loves this church. It’s just time for a change.

Maria’s last weekend will be this coming weekend, so be sure and let her know how much you appreciate her.

“Our prayers for you are always spilling over into thanksgivings. We can’t quit thanking God our Father and Jesus our Messiah for you!” (Colossians 1:3-4 MSG)

For all of you who have children signed up to be a part of camp this summer, Maria will be up at our Elementary age Camp this summer too!

JoAnne Wood, the one in the green shirt and sunglasses, will be expanding her role to oversee all of our children’s ministries from birth–5th grade. Let’s keep her and our whole children’s ministry volunteers in prayer during this time of transition.
