VOLUNTEER HIGHLIGHT

KIDS TEAM

VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH

Jim Hayek

Jim has been attending NPFCC for many years. He joined our Kids Team just about 2 years ago because he wanted a spot to serve & thought it would be fun to do so alongside his grandkids. They range from nursery to elementary. He's super flexible as to where he can help out, but usually ends up with the elementary group on Sundays. Have I told you how much I love it when grandparents help!?! It's the best!

In "real life" Jim is an amazing artist. You've probably seen his work tattooed on some of our volunteers & church members :) He's truly talented & well loved in the community. He also spends an awful lot of time with his sweet grandkids. I often bump into them at various places when I'm out. Coming from someone who was close to my grandparents, I just love that he's making special memories with his grandkids that they will always remember & treasure! Keep shining Jesus' light to them Jim!

We are so blessed to have Jim serving with us! Please join me this month in thanking him for serving on our Kids Team! WE APPRECIATE YOU SO MUCH!!
