THANK YOU TO THE SUMMER CHILDREN'S MINISTRY TEACHERS!!!

Thank you for serving this quarter.  As it comes to an end in a couple of weeks, I especially want to thank you for your flexibility and hard work.  Sometimes it seems like challenges come together.  I want you to know that I am aware that two things have made this quarter challenging:

1. The construction project and all the classroom moving and reorganizing that many of you had to do.  Also, I know the larger class sizes, especially during 2nd service have not been easy.  BY THE WAY, THE SUNDAY SCHOOL OFFICE HAS BEEN MOVED TO ROOM 200, first room on the left of the chapel hallway.
   
2. The lessons for this quarter on the law were challenging especially considering some you may not have taught or known very well some of the sections of scripture we covered.  I know they were especially challenging for the younger ones.  We will be getting into some of the more familiar stories this fall quarter:  Joshua, Rahad, Samson and Gideon.  Thank you for your work in preparing, teaching and helping in the classrooms.  I specifically want the 2/3 year olds teachers and helpers know that we have had some good conversations with Jadyn about repentance, sacrifice and complaining  THANKS!

Also, as we come to the end I want to STRONGLY ENCOURAGE you to talk to people about serving in the children's ministry.  As we prepare to go into the new building in the fall, not September, we are hoping to split some of the classrooms up into smaller groups.  This means that we will need more teachers. 

This Fall has potential to be exciting.   A new building, a new sports ministry and families getting involved in their children's lives.  Please be in prayer for Andrea, me, the fall teachers already in place, potential teachers and especially the children and families we will be discipling.

Pressing on,
David Rodgers
