"If you build it..."

In the classic baseball movie "Field of Dreams", Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella, plows up his cornfield to build a baseball diamond.  Do you remember those famous words that Ray heard? If you do, Congrats! You know your movie trivia! Here's another bit of trivia.  This extremely artistic (haha!) concept drawing is of the Waumba Land Large Group area: 

Unfortunately, nobody heard a voice saying "if you build it, he will come", even though that would have made a really cool, albeit slightly plagiarized, story. But we built the stage anyway. As you know, it now looks like this:

It would be great if buildings alone could bring people to God.  But, more times than not it's the PEOPLE in them that play the biggest part.  Waumba Land has the most amazing cast of characters.  Here's how I know. Each week as I go through the rooms, I notice the personal touches you've made...  extra coloring sheets tucked away in a drawer... candy stashed in a cabinet... personalized notes written on the curriculum... tips and reminders written on the boards... 

From infants to preschoolers, you are going above and beyond to set the stage for God to have a starring role in a child's life! You're not just babysitting kids, you are owning your unique role. You don't need lights or a camera to take action! 

You already know what took Ray Kinsella an entire movie to figure out.  His field, our building, is just the place God will leverage for the dream of His people being restored to Him.  

So, take a well-deserved bow!
