Kick-Off 2009 is here!!

Well, can you believe it? The kids have started back to school and this Sunday, August 30 we will be having our kick-off Sunday for Adventure Pointe!! I am so pumped about all the new stuff we're implementing this fall. Probably the most important thing for you to know this week is that our schedule for AP has changed. Here's a rundown of the new schedule for all kids going into K-5th grade this fall:

  • 10:00am - 10:10am: Check-in (this includes saying memory verses, checking bible study sheets, reporting any Christian Service or if the kids brought a visitor, and whether they brought their bibles)
  • 10:10-10:25: Their bible lesson and some singing. This is when the lesson will be taught with the help of drama, props, etc.
  • 10:25 - 11:00(ish): K-5th grades go back out worship with their parents.
  • 11:00 - 11:45: Trail Guides will teach the kids in a small group setting. The Guides will apply the lesson on the kids' level through the means of games, question/answers, crafts, or any other creative way the main point can be absorbed.
  • 11:45: Dismissal when parents come get them at their classroom (don't forget your parents' badges).

I'm excited on a number of levels about this new format for the kids. I think it will be a real hit. Some of you may not be too excited about coming early but there are some extra benefits, you'll get plenty of time to enjoy coffee and snacks as you fellowship with others before church. It's a win-win situation!! By the way, we will be handing out coupons during the check-in time for bible verses, etc mentioned above. This will be the only time coupons are handed out, so if the kids don't come early they won't have any chance at getting those extremely valuable coupons.

We really enjoy ministering to your kids and we thank you for the opportunity. The extra half-an-hour you sacrifice will enable us to do even more in the short amount of time we see your kids each week. We pray you will value the benefits as well and allow your kids the bonus of experiencing all Adventure Pointe has to offer.

See you Sunday!!
