Team Meeting Choices This Weekend - Oct. 25, 26

Hi Faithful Friends,

I hope you are having a blessed day!

This coming weekend you are invited to come to church early to the Preschool Department for a Preschool Team Meeting. You will be updated regarding our policies and procedures, as well as receive some timely training.

There are three meeting times available for you to choose from:

Saturday at 5:00 p.m.
Sunday at 8:00 a.m.
Sunday at 10:00 a.m.

We will meet in a room near the check-in counter. A sign on the counter will have details with the room location.

I hope many of you are able to join me.

Joyfully in Jesus,

Jackie

P.S. Tasty finger foods will be provided!

Team Meeting - Postponed

Hi Faithful Friends,

A big thank you to all who RSVP’d regarding the meeting this Saturday! Unfortunately it was not a good day to meet for many of you. With that in mind, I am rethinking our Autumn training. So the meeting Saturday is cancelled, but here is what we will do. I will pick a weekend coming up and set up a time before every service (you pick the one that works best for you) to meet for a shorter time frame to update and/or advise you regarding policies and procedures and let you know about preschool items of importance. Then our bigger training/encouraging/team building will be in January. So look for that email coming soon. And I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this change may cause those of you that were able to come. And please know that you are very valuable to me, I just thought it would be the wiser thing to go to Plan B so more of the team can participate.

If anyone would like some one-on-one training or to meet with me for any reason, please be sure to let me know and it would be my pleasure.

Thanks again for being such a wonderful blessing!

Joyfully in Jesus,

Jax

Preschool Note:

Dear Friends,

What a blessing it has been to see you serving in the Preschool (again or for the first time) this month! I hope you are enjoying being back with God’s little ones at FCC. I know it always cheers my heart to be around silly, sincere, rambunctious, worshipful, giggling, inquisitive preschoolers! What an awesome age and what an awesome task we have. Isn’t God good to entrust US with these children’s hearts? That is no small thing, is it?

Preschool News:

*Tomorrow I (with Armin & Emily P.) will be attending the Children’s Ministry Conference at ABT. I promise to pass on all the good stuff I learn.

*Communication Logs (in the classroom) – Please use these logs to communicate your needs. Look ahead one week in the curriculum, decide what you are going to do and request the needed items on these logs. The items you need may not be in the supply room, so we are depending on you to let us know ahead of time. You can also write down any upcoming absences you are anticipating and any concerns you may have. An email will work too. Telling me verbally is good, but I will still need it in writing on the log or in an email. Thanks so much!

*Looking ahead: Coming up in October, I will be scheduling a time when we can get together as a team to connect, and go over our goals, policies and procedures as a department. It won’t take long and I promise I’ll provide a yummy treat. I will let you know the date and time by this Monday.

Please let me know if you have any questions and thanks again for your devoted service to Jesus!

Joyfully,

Jackie E.

September is here!

Hi Friends!

Here it is September again. Where did the summer go?? Our summer preschool volunteers were great and God provided like He always does. Thank you, Father (and volunteers)!

Now, coming up this next weekend, we will start our Fall Semester here in the preschool department at FCC. Welcome back to all of our wonderful volunteers! It will be great to see you all again and to have you right where you belong - loving our little ones to Jesus. :O) Can you tell I missed you?

I will be adding more to the blog this week. We have our new Preschool Associate to introduce, Armin P.; some summer birthdays to acknowledge; and of course some updates and info on current and coming events.

So stay tuned...

Blessings & love, Jackie
