BIG KIDS UPDATE - MAY 2017

From Amy Araucto and Betsy Turnbull - Big Kids Leadership Team


Greetings families!

I hope you've been able to get out and enjoy some much needed sunshine. Now that it feels like summer might actually be coming to Seattle I wanted to get in touch to share a few updates:

End of school celebration - Sunday, July 2nd right after church. We will plan something outdoors to have some fun with friends and kick off summer. If you have any location ideas please let Amy or Betsy know. Siblings and families are all welcome!

Summer meetings - we have decided to continue with Big Kids during the summer worship time. There are enough people coming regularly and we feel the kids will benefit from it. The only change is that we won't be asking volunteers to do 3 weeks in a row, but will be doing one at a time just to piece it together for summer. Reba will be sending out a schedule in the coming weeks so please let her know via planning center if you will be gone.

Volunteers - currently on the rotation are Betsy, Brian, Andrew and Alicia. Are there others who might want to give it a try? With the newly developed itinerary it's pretty easy to jump in. The kids can basically tell you the schedule and it's printed in the room. 

New members - there are a few kids entering 2nd grade who might be joining next year, so we can revisit the idea of dividing the group if it becomes an issue. Of course we would need more volunteers to make that feasible so we will just play that by ear.

As always, Betsy and I are here to talk anytime and we welcome your input and ideas. We love working with your kiddos and are glad they all seem to be enjoying Big Kids in our new church home.

Thank you!
Amy
