The new check-in system went well this Sunday. I think we will have to come up with something to accomodate the two classrooms being on opposite sides of the building but that will be a small hurdle to face. All in all, it was good. When we have new families in church, we will be able to give them confidence in the safety and security of their children. Providing a safe environment will remain a top priority.
We will also continue to focus on keeping the children excited about Jesus! (And they are excited!) The older kids are bringing their Bibles now and literally jumping out of their chairs with their hands in the air to ask for a chance to read a verse or two. Of course, our "Bible All Stars" reward system may have a little to do with that... But, for the most part, they just want to participate.
This week we discussed things we were thankful for and the answers they had were amazing. Everything from turkey sandwiches to God! We have started a paper chain with things we are thankful for written on it. Check it out next time you are at church.
Next week we will continue to discuss thankfulness and create some outreach items for somewhere local. We'll have a little artwork and other items to share.
Have I ever mentioned how great these kids are? =)
