Hello Children's Ministry Folk,

The last two weeks were pretty uneventful. Things ran smoothly; even the transfer of choir members from class to practice. We were also thankful all teachers were able to make it in spite of the weather.

Children are still forgetting to take their nametags in the foyer so several children whom I thought were absent were actually in the class when I took attendance. I completely forgot to have one of my children posted in the foyer to remind their peers however, so I'm partially at fault.

The kindergarten class was short a couple of coloring sheets. I know Ed and I had suggested not so many be printed, for all the grades, because it seemed they were not being used. Now, kindergarten is requesting a few more.

Ed and I went through the Visitor Information cards and discarded any that were from 2007 with the exception
of 3...Bauer Evans' family, Jim Donohue's family and Trevor Haynes family. We figured, Lord willing, they would visit again in the future and hopefully we coordinators will remember they already have a number and not give them another.
After children's ministry was over, it was brought to our attention that there were no Encouragment Cards in the Late Preschool folder. Maybe Steve and Krin can replenish that need. Also, for Steve and Krin, Sarah Walker donated a few chunky books for the nursery and I believe I forgot to put them in the nursery bins. They are in a grocery bag in our blue coordinator bin.
I also started numbering new Visitor Information cards at 400 on, hopefully this was a safe place to start.

I think that is it. Hope you are all having a victorious week. With God on our side who can be against us!

-Connie

Sunday December 6th

Busy...but fine. Just a couple of notes for Jocelyn:
  • Could we please put the Jones boys on the permanent roster? They are the children of Heather Smith. (Family ID #856) (Richard and Alexander)
  • Brendan Loux - 5th grade (Dayspring) Family ID #182, needs tags made
  • Liana and Nolan Ploucher (Dayspring) Family ID #817 need tags and also the Mom (Arlene Ploucher) didn't get permanent ID cards.
  • Ashleigh Stehr, David Seasholtz, and Tyler Dailey have all moved from Late Pre to Kindergarten. Please adjust this on attendance sheets and tags.

Thanks so much! -- Steve & Krin

Hello Coordinators!

It seems that there are several times when kids come in and completely bypass the nametags. One thought we had here is to have your kids stand by the table in the foyer and remind their friends to take their nametag. That way it is a reminder to them as well as a great way for the kids to greet and interact.

If you have any other ideas/suggestions regarding this, just let us know!

Thanks!

Visitor Cards

Hello Coordinators!

Regarding the yellow visitor cards, when a permanent ID card is made for the family, the yellow cards can be discarded. This is more just as a reminder because this Sunday we will be sending over permanent cards for all the Dayspring families, so they will no longer need the visitor cards.

Thanks so much!
