Adjustments

October 25--Laurie Mart can't teach in LP. Please place Ethan Benner, the adult aide for that morning, with Erika.

Terry Alderfer will teach with Sheri Stehr in October. This is a temporary fill.

Visitor Cards

I don't know what happened to the visitor cards. The last stack I sent over had multiple lines on it. I will make some new ones and send them over on Sunday. I'll also send over copies of the new schedule. Just fyi, the current schedule is usually updated and posted on the GCC children's ministry website.

Thanks everyone!

Response--September 13

I think Charlotte shows up to serve every week, at least she did the Sundays we coordinated. I explained to her that I have her scheduled to help Myka on the Sundays when Dougie is not able to do so. When I have observed her with children, I've see her participating as a child, not as a person helping to lead them. If anyone has observed anything different and thinks she should be put in more regularly, please let me know. Until then, I thought I'd give her a bit more time to mature.

The new schedule should show that Christian or Caleb Knaub will be helping Myka on the first Sundays.

Jocelyn, do you know what happened to the visitor cards?

Coordinators report from Sept. 13

I keep wondering if I will ever feel at ease registering new families on a Sunday morning. We had some visitors coming as friends of members and some returning visiting families a little stressful at times. When members bring along a grandchild, family friend etc. is it proper procedure to just list them under that members name and ID number? The visitors info cards that are left in the box are different then the previous cards we were using. There is only room to write one child's name and birth date info. The other cards we had been using gave numerous lines for an entire family. I had one mom kind of cram her 3 kids names and grades in the space. Not sure if we ran out of the others. Just checking.

Regarding aides: Charlotte Coulson would like to be put on as a full time aide. She showed up to help with Myka but Dougie already was in that spot. Also, the old aide sheet from 3/09 in the file had written in pencil Christian and Caleb Knaub as wanting to be aides. I did not see their name on the new updated sheet. Maybe they were not needed, just wanted to bring it to someones attention.

Would it be possible to have the 6th grade door unlocked when there is no class and use for sleeping babies? We had two on Sunday that could of used that nice, dark,empty room. Just a thought.

Brian Knaub informed us the wipes in his bin were all dried out. Are there others in a supply closet?

On a personal note. Would it be possible to hold our meeting at the church on the 27th? I realize it is not as comfy and relaxing as the Reed's home but we just received notice two weeks ago that Children and Youth are hosting a foster care picnic/fair type of event in Souderton Park from 2-5. We would love to get to some of it and it would be helpful to be meeting in Franconia. Wondering if that would be a possiblity?

I guess that's it for now.

Sunday, September 6th

Hi CM Bloggers!
Sunday went well with it being the "big switch." I just have a couple of notes here. Most of them being changes for the attendance sheets and nametags. Jocelyn, realize that since I am sending this so late, that the nametags are probably already printed out for this week, but maybe we can make the changes for the following week. Here they are:

• Claire Horrocks was on the 5th grade roster, but can be dropped. She is now in youth/parent.
• Melanie Witter got dropped off of labels and the roster, but she should still be on the 6th grade list.
• The Knepps would like to keep Faith in Early Pre-School this year, and Myka will be staying in Late Pre-School.
• Isabelle Alessi is entering 4th grade, but is on the 3rd grade roster.
• Noah Weigner should be on the 4th grade roster, not the 5th grade.

Also, could 2 blank attendance sheets be sent over to the coordinators table on Sunday? We need to add them to two of the sheets, because there is no room to write visitors on. Oh, I guess we would need four. Two for our copies, and two for the classroom copies. I forget which ones they were Teresa, but you'll probably see.

Can we also have an updated Children's Ministry Schedule for our bin, and also an updated Nursery/Aide list? There are only summer schedules in there right now.

The Derstines will be filling in for us this coming Sunday, as we will be on vacation. We will be back on, on the 20th. I think that's all for now!
