			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mark 10:13-16 MSG   “The people brought children to Jesus, hoping he might touch them. The disciples shooed them off. But Jesus was irate and let them know it: ‘Don&#8217;t push these children away. Don&#8217;t ever get between them and me.  These children are at the very center of life in the kingdom. Mark this: Unless you accept God&#8217;s kingdom in the simplicity of a child, you&#8217;ll never get in.’ Then, gathering the children up in his arms, he laid his hands of blessing on them.”</p>
<p>Remember the song we sang as little children? &#8220;Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world. Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight. Jesus loves the little children of the world.” I also loved singing the kid&#8217;s song, &#8220;Jesus Loves Me This I Know.&#8221; Loving children was something Jesus made a priority. He always took time for and blessed them. </p>
<p>I love kids! I look forward to Sunday mornings and greeting the children as they come into the AMC entrance and run to their pastor with open arms to get their hug. I want children to be a priority at Katy Fellowship. I believe that loving children is demonstrated through the unselfish giving and hard work of our Promiseland team. I am so proud of all the ladies and men and teens who serve in Children&#8217;s Ministry. Each month for the rest of the year, we are spotlighting a ministry that is &#8220;living out&#8221; LOVE. This month is Promiseland.</p>
<p>The vision of Promiseland is: To partner with the family to raise up &#8220;children of promise&#8221; for our world. We can accomplish this by helping them understand God&#8217;s purpose for them today. God&#8217;s purpose for each child is to love Him and to love others. Joining with parents to teach children to love is one of our main missions. </p>
<p>Would you pray and consider becoming part of the Promiseland ministry? We are already gearing up for the coming school year and seeing this ministry grow. Jesus has called us to love the children. Adults of all ages can live out love through loving kids. Take time to take them in your arms and bless them.</p>
<p>Praying for You,</p>
<p>Tim</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the songs I remember singing in church growing up was “Count Your Blessings.”  The words of the chorus reminded me to count my blessings and name them one by one. I must confess to you that occasionally after singing that song I would use the rest of the service to list out as many of the “blessings” I could count and not listen to much of what was being preached. (Please forgive me dad J)!  November encourages us to give thanks. I would like to take a few moments to count my blessings and thank some very important people in my Katy Fellowship family!</p>
<ul>
<li>First to my wife who serves beside me with incredible love and patience. She has loved and raised our children as well as loved and taught our KCF kids faithfully.</li>
<li>Tara and Trey are precious gifts to Polly and me. They have both worked in the ministry by serving, not because they had to, but because they wanted to.</li>
<li>The KCF staff of Marcus, Chris, Priscilla, Marla, Stacey, Gayle and Tammy.   All gifted with a heart to love, encourage and serve.</li>
<li>Our leadership team made up of the elders and trustees with their wives, and some key servants who seek God’s wisdom to lead Katy Fellowship to be the church God’s called us to be.</li>
<li>The Student Ministry, Promiseland and nursery teams who wear the iTeach, iServe, and iRock shirts with conviction and purpose. Each of you have already and will continue to impact this young generation in great ways!</li>
<li>Our adult and student worship teams who give of their time and talents to lead us to God’s throne in praise and worship.</li>
<li>Our wonderful volunteers who work so faithfully and tirelessly to set up, tear down, greet, make events happen, mail, copy, compute and maintain our website, etc. etc. etc. You all make a difference!</li>
<li>The LIFE group leaders, facilitators, hosts and hostesses. Each are so appreciated and necessary.</li>
<li>Our Incense intercessors who continually keep KCF bathed in prayer.</li>
<li>The community of HELPERS who make up Katy Fellowship. You listen, encourage, love, pray, equip, reach, serve as well as attend and financially support your church. You are loved!</li>
<li>And finally, but most importantly to our GOD from whom all blessings come. As the song goes, count your many blessings see what God has done! You have done so much. Thank You!</li>
</ul>
<p>Praying for You,</p>
<p>Tim</p>
