Volunteer Note This Week...

Hi Faithful Friends,

I hope you are having a blessed week so far! And what an interesting one at that with Mt. Redoubt and all.

Here is the low down this week in the Preschool department at Faith:

Easter is almost here. Yay! What a wonderful opportunity to share the best story ever told to even more children than usual. You may have heard by now that we are going to have 4 services again this year with the addition of a 1:00 p.m. service. I am asking that you please consider the following options to help us properly staff each classroom:

*Volunteering to serve at a service if you are normally off this weekend (let me know which one works best for you)
*Volunteering to serve a second service-if you normally serve at one (let me know your service time choice)
*Asking a family member to help in the class you are serving in (I will need their name and their DOB-if applicable)

Please let me know which option is doable for you. And thank you so much for considering this.

FYI for the classroom teachers, we will follow the normal class schedule. If you need me to purchase special treats or craft supplies for your class, please let me know at least 1 week prior. This will be a fun time to do some really special stuff with the kids so be planning now.

Linda S. and I will be gone this coming weekend. We are going to the Northwest Ministry Conference (from Wednesday afternoon to Sunday) in Redmond, WA. I am looking forward to all the great workshops and the new or renewed knowledge I will bring back to our department! Armin P. will be the director on duty for all 3 services and Rosalee O. will be our guest director for the nursery at 11AM. Please arrive on time to make sure that all classrooms are covered and everything runs smoothly. I so appreciate you doing that! And I will miss you! (Please pray that Mt. Redoubt behaves so we can go. Thanks!)

The Volunteer Appreciation Dinner date has changed to Thursday, May 14th. Please be sure and SAVE THE new DATE. We are planning some great fun and fabulous food!

Blog stuff:
*I will now be putting our Dream Team schedules on the sidebar of the blog for easy access. (I will also keep sending email reminders.)
*Don’t forget to send me your prayer requests if you want others to pray.
*There’s a great Tutti Frutti Playdough recipe on the sidebar now.
*And if you have any ideas for the blog, please let me know.

Reminders & Thanks:
*If you haven’t yet completed the new application or watched the child abuse awareness video (instructions found on the sidebar of this blog), please be sure and finish that soon.
*Also, please pick up your copy of the volunteer handbook in the hospitality room and read through it, if you haven’t yet.
*And a huge THANK YOU for doing this and for all those that have completed the above items!

God bless you all for your loving service and for your perseverance! You are my heroes!!

Joyfully,

Jackie
