blowing smoke?

You guys were awesome last Wednesday! Sabrina, one of our new persons, raised her hand to be friends with Jesus!!! That's what I'm talkin' about!

So remember, you are God's instrument in bringing kids to Him through a fun group like our J12!

October 22 TOPIC and info

Topic will be "An Attitude of Gratitude"

As J12'rs check in they'll be given a diaper on a string. They need to wear this around their neck until game time.

We'll do business as usual: Greeting, Worship, Teaching, and then Games.

We'll be short one

Christie Stevenson, Bailey's mom, is out of town and won't be there Wednesday so we'll be short one .

TK

October 8th

Hi ya all,

Worship will be as usual with the exception that teacher Kevin will have to go pick up his twin brother at the bus stop.
Teaching will be tag-team style with teacher Kevin and his twin brother. The message will be that God is the King of Kings. That we are his sons and daughters, thus, we are princes and princesses. Being princes and princesses means we have a responsibility to the King to be leaders in our kingdom.
Games will be as follows: Two relays and a one-on-one contest.

We'll need to use power point for the message.

Staff Meeting - October 08

Hey, all!

Thanks for a great meeting yesterday! Here's the wrap-up from it...

Things going well 

Creativity in Worship

Lots of new faces

Great & creative teachings

Leaders are connecting well

Great games

Things Needing Improvement
Nametag Wednesday
Communication among leaders - blog comments
More Wii games


A great suggestion was made to team up with another leader for mutual prayer and support. We all agreed that Wednesdays are the day the enemy attacks. We need to know & understand that and plan accordingly!! Be more intentional about devotions, quiet time, prayer and worship. Use the car drive or lunch time to connect with God. The better we are connected, the stronger our encounter...the more we can be used to bring Jesus to our kids.

Events
All leaders should attend all events...please communicate if you can't make it. No-shows are not a good thing! :) Cost is $10 for events

Misc. Stuff
Please use the weblog every week...it takes about 5 minutes to read and another 5 minutes to comment. It's not just for info - it's a place for all of our ideas, prayers and comments to be gathered together!
6:15 arrival - we are doing a great job with this!! keep it up...make sure to spread out and look for kids in the parking lot when you arrive. Especially keep an eye out for VIP wristbands...these are our new kids. Connect with them and connect them with other youth!

Door greeters - J12 Monique! Checking wristbands and giving a candy bar to VIP each week as they head into service!

Pray for more leaders...we need more leaders in J12 right now!!

Sunday morning attendance isn't optional...communication is necessary if you will be missing a Sunday morning for any reason!!

Bottom Line!!
You are an amazing team! I am so blessed to minister together with you and to see lives changed weekly for God. Keep up the good work and keep your eyes on Jesus...He is our strength, our peace and our protection. Stay prayed up, protect your family time and let's continue to see young people transformed by the Spirit of God.

Thanks!!
