Kaleidoscope Kids Wrapped
Dear Grownups,
I’m sure many of you have been getting notifications about your Spotify Wrapped being ready for your viewing pleasure! (For those of you that don’t use the audio streaming service Spotify, each year they send you a year end recap of all that you have listened to over the course of the year.) This year, I immediately went to mine to see just how much time I’m spending listening to nostalgic 90s country music and Taylor Swift… whatever number you’re thinking, add a 4 and double it!
As I scrolled through my year, I was struck by just how powerful and meaningful it is to see something written out in such plain language. This many minutes on music, this many episodes of podcasts, most played songs and top artists.
It got me thinking, what if I did a year recap with Kaleidoscope Kids and let you all see just how powerful and meaningful this ministry is to the life of the church. Below you will see just how much we have done this year! I am so proud of these kids and how much they are growing in their faith!
I am so honored to work with your children and feel so lucky that I get a front row seat to their faith and growth into their tween years and beyond. As we head into 2026, I am looking forward to more holy moments and times of growing together.
I know we are all just trying to survive the next few days but take some time to sit in the chaos. One day, you’ll be begging for these moments back.
Blessings,
Miss Brittney
