Discipleship & Education Aug. 16, 2011
Discipleship & Education Team :
The DELT team met on Tuesday, August 16th instead of our usual 3rd Thursday meeting day. After prayer & devotional time and approval of the month’s budget, we discussed: Safe Church Policy (hopefully to be approved at Sept meeting?), Youth Group Meal Coordinator duties, VBS review, review of both Middle School & High School Youth Work Camps, our participation a joint VBS for for Let’s Make A Difference kids (overall successful but with a few kinks to work out if we do again next year; Stacie will be meeting with coordinators from other churches to review); Let’s Make A Difference Kandyland, summer FISH (everyone – kids and teachers – like the Dr Seuss theme).
As we look forward to the upcoming fall season, we discussed planning for FISH: Rally Day (opening day) Sept 18th; Alive on the Square – we need to help supervise bouncy house, other activities; Leadership Team meeting 8/28; we will be helping First Christian Church with their women’s retreat on 9/17 by serving a meal & clean up; they will return the favor at a future date for us; All Church Hayride coming up 10/23 at Boyert’s; Empty Bowl mission coming in April; starting generating ideas for our own Women’s Retreat – possibly late Fall, focus on Spiritual Goal-setting; offer stations around the church with craft, yoga, speaker?; a few changes for upcoming Youth Group season : High School youth meeting changes (1x/ month for dinner somewhere, plus 1 church event each month); Middle School Youth seeking Mission Trip ideas, adding a few new activities.
Our team mission continues to grow in so many ways. We seek anyone who would like join us for any or all this year’s exciting Christian Discipleship and Education events ! Just ‘knock and the door…’ is open
