We thank Marie Zajdel for serving as our Interim Children's Ministry Leader through much of 2023. Marie provided excellent leadership and continuity within our midweek, Sunday morning, and summer children's ministries.

As she steps back from that role this New Year, we're pleased to add Makayla Rothey as our Sunday Morning Coordinator within the Children's Ministry, also on an interim basis. Makayla joins Beth Jewel, our Children's Ministry Assistant, and Michelle Washington, our Awana (Midweek Ministry) Coordinator. We are discussing plans for Summer Blast and Summer Pop leadership and will keep you apprised.

Our search for the next Director of Children's Ministries is underway. Please keep this search in your prayers, joining us in thanking the Lord for His gracious provision of these joyful and dedicated servants.

Yours in Christ,

The Board of Elders
First Free Church
