Being a volunteer for Children's Ministry is a beautiful way to model for the children the important value we place on learning about God and the Church.

"We have gifts that differ according to the favor bestowed on each of us. One's gift may be prophecy; its use should be in proportion to his faith. It may be the gift of ministry; it should be used for service. One who is a teacher should use his gift for teaching; one with the power of exhortation should advise strongly. He who gives alms should do so generously; he who rules should exercise his authority with care; he who performs works of mercy should do so cheerfully." Romans 12: 6-8
