I'll just go ahead and say it....volunteer management is not my favorite thing to do...mostly because I would rather be with people than behind a computer screen! So, a way for YOU to help ME is to let me know if you're going to volunteer with Children's Church this fall! Please do so by filling out the form below! Thanks so much!!

July 2012 Updates!
Classic Kids Ministry has a lot of fun and exciting things happening in the next few weeks, so here is a way for each of us to stay in touch and informed! I have converted this blog into the Classic Kids blog! Post your comments or suggestions for events and activities!
July 13th: Family Fun Night! Join us as we watch the newest VeggieTales movie: Robin Good and his not-so-merry men! Meet us at the Ministry Center from 6-7:30pm. Bring some pillows and blankets for the kids, and feel free to have them dressed in their PJ’s!
Sunday August 5th: Promotion Sunday! Kids who are moving up to new age groups will transition this week! All children who will have turned 2 by September 1st will move to the 2s and 3s room. All children going into PreK or turning 4 by September 1st will move to the PreK room. All children going into 1st grade will transition to the Elementary Room. All students who just finished 5th grade will move into the YOUTH GROUP: Connection!
Also on Sunday August 5th, the kids will lead the church with 3 songs: Here I am to Worship, Undignified, and Let Your Light Shine! This will be a fun way to incorporate the kids into the worship service! We will begin practicing this week for leading worship during the service on August 5th! You can start practicing with your kids NOW! :o)
We will be singing the following songs and next to them you can find the youtube link for the song: Here I am to Worship by Michael W. Smith http://youtu.be/CoxopsRSfdU
Undignified by David Crowder Band http://youtu.be/
and Let Your Light Shine by Hillsong Kids Choir http://youtu.be/
Just click on the links and each one has the lyrics, too! Enjoy practicing on these hot days with your kids!
Wednesday nights at the Ministry Center: Starting August 15th During the 6-7pm hour, while parents pray for the church, the children will be learning and playing as they discover truths from the Bible through the Jesus Storybook Bible Curriculum. Join us each week as we learn how the Bible reveals Jesus as the center of each story and how each story whispers His name.
Volunteer Needs: This fall, I (April) would like to start teaching more in the Elementary class, because I love teaching and want to be able to provide more consistency in their classroom. I will also need more volunteers for the other classrooms, too! This means I need some people to float/roam between classes and keep up with the needs of the teachers and volunteers. This person will report to April every week and discuss the needs of the classes, they will set up the children’s check in tables, help with checking in families and make sure parents know where to drop off their kids. I need 3-4 people to volunteer for this job, as it will rotate on a monthly basis. If that is YOU, please email April! Thanks!
Connection: We are planning for the fall now and will have updates to share in the coming weeks! Stay tuned for more info!!
Classic Kids Facebook page: Keep up with Classic Kids on Facebook! I often post information or announcements there! https://www.facebook.com/ClassicKidsVolunteersAndParents
Interns and Fellows this fall!
Josh Rogers will be our full time student ministry fellow! He has a heart for youth to really know what they believe and how to live it out every day. He has a lot of great ideas and will be an awesome addition to our youth ministry team!
Hayley Jeffers will be returning as an intern for the students this fall, and she will help with administration and implementation of youth activities as well as disciple some of our female students!
Stephanie Fraser will be the children’s ministry intern starting in the fall. She has worked with kids all summer at a camp and is so ready to be back in Athens and working with our kids! She will be a teacher on Wednesday nights as well as helping with administrative tasks throughout the week! We are so excited to have her on our team!
If you would like information on ways to support our interns and fellows, please contact April: april@classiccity.org. I would love to have “Welcome” baskets for each of them as they begin their jobs this fall. If you would like to contribute to these with gift cards, fun Athens type items, or other gifts, please let me know!
