Hi, how are you?  I’m not much of a warm tea person, so why don’t we have a glass of iced tea (sweetened of course) and get started!

1. Good afternoon. Why don’t you start by sharing your name and where you live?

Wayne Stocks. Pataskala, Ohio.

2. Tell us a little bit about the church you attend.

I attend New Life Church in Gahanna, Ohio. It is a non-denominational church with a membership of around 1,000.

Welcome to a brand new feature here on Kidmin1124.com. Starting next Sunday, we will be introducing “Sunday Afternoon Tea.” In this feature, we hope you will join one of authors each week for a lazy Sunday afternoon conversation. Whether you enjoy hot tea or good old-fashioned southern ice tea, pour yourself a cup and come find out a little bit more about our authors.

What drives them? Why do they work in children’s ministry? Who were the shaping influences in their life? We will ask a series of questions each week of one of our authors. Some will be light-hearted and others more hard hitting. Our questions will run the gamut from their childhoods through their work in children’s ministry. Some questions will require very short answers and other longer more in depth answers, but that’s part of the fun!
