MBC Loudoun has a new family who started attending church during the month of June. The parents were hesitant at first to leave their precious children with strangers, especially when one of their children has special needs which includes a communication barrier. When your child is unable to inform you of how their day went or what happened during their day, this causes a huge trust issue. As a parent, you are very hesitant and fearful of leaving your child with people you don’t know and trust. This is where Core Value #8 came into play,“Everything we do must be done with excellence.” Colossians 3:23-24 23 Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. We made this family feel like their child was the one and only child we were responsible for as well as reassuring them that this is a place where their child will feel loved, safe, and learn about our Lord Jesus Christ. This family’s other child attends Kids Quest and I know Kids Quest made them feel just as welcomed and comfortable. The entire family has attended church “TOGETHER” now for the past month. The reason for the importance of stating “TOGETHER” is MBC Loudoun is the first church they have been to in the past 9 years that allows the entire family to go at one time.
