Can you believe I'm posting already...just 3 hours after church was over!

Everything went well this morning, just a few things to blog about...

I noticed at the end of children's ministry that there were a bunch of coloring sheets laying on top of the coloring sheet bin on the supply cart. I put them in order but I don't know if they are old or new. Ed wasn't with me today and he normally takes care of that so, Steve, could you check into this next Sunday?

Justin restocked pretzels for me. Everyone should be good on snack for next week. I will pick up more pretzels though to have inventory.

I was able to go through the Visitor Cards in the file box and get rid of some very old ones.

Also, I looked over the attendance sheets and took down some names of people we do not see anymore. My feeling is that they could be deleted from the attendance sheets & labels but Blake should have the final say. Here is the list: Richard & Alexander Jones (#191)

Jake Craft (#173)

Eliana and Judah Falconera (#159)

Nicholas Wales (#128)

Julianna Trifan (#216)

Samantha Muniz (#209)

Jordan & Jaydn Perna (#198)

That's all I've got. Hope you all have a good week.

Dearest Coordinators,

We had several visitors due to the baby dedication but it all went well.

Not every aide showed up but we had enough.

I was looking through the attendance sheets and noticing some names that we don't see anymore. I want to try and go through it thoroughly this week and "declutter" - same with the visitor cards in the file box.

Only thing I need of Jocelyn this week is more yellow temporary ID cards - there are only a couple left.

That's all. Have fun in the slush!

Sunday Jan 2nd & 9th

January 2nd:

Rudloffs called in sick in the morning, and the only reason I'm noting this is to remind Blake to add his cell phone number to the CM schedule. Scott and I would not have gotten the Rudloffs call if I had not been home with a sick child, we would have already been at church that morning when Jeff called.


January 9th:

All the nursery aides showed up with the exception of Amy Jefferis, who was schedule to be Sean Dailey's assistant. This brought up Brooke & Dave's desires to have more male assistants helping Sean, and that if there had to be a female it needed to be someone with a "strong" personality, such as Maggie Frank (per Brooke).

Dan & Jenn Herb need a new ID card, there number is 179.

Also, there is a 1 year old in the nursery who is potty trained, but needs assistance in the bathroom. Just an FYI.

Other than that it was a quiet morning. Thanks Connie & Ed for stepping in at the end of service for Scott and I :-)

coordinators report Dec. 26

Merry Christmas everyone!

Please high light Kyra Daily's name tag for allergies.

Brooklyn Shelly- please switch her name to Early Preschool, she was placed in late preschool on the sticker sheets.

We have not had a black curtain for the nursery window the last two weeks. It does help if it can be found or replaced.

Four of our aides did not show up and had not found replacements.

I believe we are low on napkins. The last two weeks we have had teacher's using them for snacks. They should probably be restocked. Unless there are some in a supply closet somewhere, I am just going by what is on our cart.

Enjoy the snow!

Sundays, Dec. 5 & 12

Well, here we are, blogging at the 11th hour. (Sorry Joce) But, I don't think that there's anything pressing that needs to be done by tomorrow. Just a couple of notes below.

• Brendon Loux #182 needs to be added to the 6th grade class list and stickers.
• We need animal crackers and pretzels. Connie, I will pick up animal crackers today, because the nursery bin is empty. But if you want to grab a spare sometime to put in the storage room, that would be great because there's nothing in there. Pretzels too. Thanks!
• Mari and Myka Knepp will be staying in late pre-school for the school year, so that can be changed on attendance and stickers.
• Moses Clemens is moving to the 3rd grade class for this school year (due to lack of boys in his normal class) so I guess you can make those changes too.
• The Osborne kiddos can be removed from attendance.
• Jason and Renita Shelly are requesting permanant tags. Bryce (4/30/04) Brandt (10/18/06) and Brooklyn (1/19/07)

That's all for now folks. Christmas Blessings!

Steve & Krin

Good morning Coordinators,

The past two weeks went very smoothly and not all our aides were even needed...a few were sent back into the service.

New memory verses were handed out to each class. Only the 6th grade has not gotten theirs since they did not have class this past Sunday. They are labeled and in the green file folder.

This past week was lesson 38...in looking ahead in the coloring sheet bin there doesn't seem to be coloring sheets for lessons 39 or 41. I don't know why it's just those two weeks. Do those lessons just not include a coloring sheet, Blake? Teachers will be asking for it next week, I'm sure.

The routine we've established for the Christmas choir is this:

a.) the choir participants/attendance sheets are in the green attendance file

b.) just before 11:30 go to each class and collect the children whose name are on your choir attendance sheet

c.) give attendance sheets to Carol Rudloff who will then take attendance again once choir participants are all seated in the cafeteria...Krin could you please stay in cafe. and help Carol with this since she is still unfamiliar with some of the kids (if she is still unfamiliar with the kids after your two weeks of coordinating could you pass this note along to Teresa too?)

d.) take sheets back from Carol and put back in green file for next week

e.) choir practice goes until 12:30 incase any parents ask

Note, some classes were in the cafeteria having snack when it was time to collect the kids for choir practice...their teachers just let them go from there. Also, the month of Dec. will mean a different teacher each Sunday so many of them will be unfamiliar with the routine and even which kids in their class are participating so the coordinators will really have to head up this effort for it to run smoothly.

A question was brought up concerning the 4th grade class. Since there are no boys in this class should we tell the parents of a visiting 4th grade boy that, it is indeed, an all girls class and let them decide where they want their son to be. (3rd, 4th or 5th) Seems to me we should, what does everyone else think?

Just a few other notes: *Galen and Teresa Derstine need new family ID cards

*Esther Thompson will be an aide this coming week for Michaiah Hughes

*Wherever this would apply... Anne Schott wants her last name changed to Rizzo like that of her son Danny. I think she is number 205.

Hope I'm not forgetting anything.

May you all have a victorious week as a new creation in Christ!

Connie

Notes from November 7, 2010

* Karin Cook switched with Cheryl Coulson in the nursery, so Cheryl will be helping on Nov 14th

* Myka & Mari Knepp can be changed to the Late Preschool attendance

* Brendon Loux is still not showing on the 6th grade attendance

* Chad Clemens requested that we move Moses from 4th to 3rd grade. On Sun he would not go to class because with Bennett leaving he remains the only boy in the 4th grade class :-( He has several friends in 3rd grade and would like to move down to be with his buddies. I think this is a fair request, but the changes will need to be made on the attendance and name tag sheets

* all the aids showed up with the exception of Sandra Arocho, but we were fine without her so it didn't pose a problem

* we are in need of more encouragement cards

* I did have a question about diaper changing in the nursery from Karin Cook (who I believe is fairly new to that role). Anyway, I did not know the answer, but thankfully was able to find it in the Coordinators Manual in the bin. I was VERY thankful for quick access to that binder, yet something in my memory (or lack of :-) says Blake was seeking to have that updated (Blake was that suppose to be my job??)

* a note for Jocelyn, I was talking with Ed & Connie and in the conversation realized that as the blog gets updated they receive an email notifying them. Scott and I would not be receiving emails when someone posts one the blog. I'm wondering if it's because we came on board after the blog was established, or maybe I neglected to set things up right when we registered? Whatever the reason, it would be nice to resolve it so that we can get emails. Our current practice has been to sign on the blog Sat night b/4 we serve and read through to see what we need to know before Sun morning. This past weekend we forgot to check the blog (oops) b/4 Sun and I was concerned there might be something we should know about and didn't. Also, just read your blog post tonight with the request to post things by Wed...good to know. So let me know if there is something on my end that I need to do so that we get emailed updates. Thanks!
