Hello!

My hope is that this blog will be a resource for all Christian Education leaders at Faith Lutheran. I will post announcements, important need-to-know info, and articles that may help you on your journey as a teacher, small group leader, bible study leader, manager, coordinator, or student!

Welcome back to Wednesday night confirmation!

• Since it is our first week back since Christmas, it would be great if all guides are a little early to greet their students!
• Guides, if you weren’t at the meeting last week, and don’t have your new lessons, you better come early to read through and plan tomorrow’s lesson!
• Thank you for a great Guide/Manager meeting last week. We really had a good discussion and I feel blessed by all of you!
• I assume you will soon begin to get questions from parents about Lent. Please let them know that I will be sending a letter to their home in the next few weeks with all the details.

That’s all for now! See you all tomorrow night!

Hello Teachers,

Not much new to report this week….

• We will start in the Sanctuary for worship.
• Library: 6th grade       Computers: 4th grade (if you would like to lead)
• 3 yr. old-1st grade teacher meeting, 10:00-10:30 AM, Rm. 2F. Remember to bring your eval. forms with you! Next week from 10:00-10:30 will be 2nd-6th grade teachers meeting.  If you need childcare during the meeting, arrangements have been made to have the nursery supervised during that half-hour.

That’s all for this week!

Wow, that was weird to type “09″. My first one of the new year!

News you can use for this Sunday…

Welcome back to Sunday School! The Christmas programs were wonderful and I thank you for all your help pulling things together. But, it will be nice to get back to our old routine. This Sunday, we will return to the opening worship schedule, this Sunday being in the Chris. Ed. wing. So from 9-9:15/10:30-10:45, all ages (3 year old-6th grade) will meet in the Gathering Area for worship.

Special Note:Adrian Poynter will no longer be able to lead the Computer lab sessions. If you would like, your class may still use the space, but Adrian will not be able to plan and lead.

• There is no assigned class to the library this week. The 5th grade class has computer lab if you would like.
• Please mark your calendars!  I would like to meet with all 3 yr. 0ld-1st grade teachers on Jan. 11th from 10:00-10:30 AM. On Jan. 18th, I would like to meet with all 2nd-6th grade teachers from 10:00-10:30 AM.  Please look for evaluation forms in your folders this Sunday. Fill them out and bring them to the meeting in Rm. 2F. These meetings will be a great opportunity to offer feedback, evaluate the program year so far, and support one another in our ministry together.
• 4th-6th grade winter retreat at Luther Crest is coming soon, Jan. 23-25! Please encourage your students to register. If they need financial assistance, it is available. Deadline is THIS SUNDAY!
• In a few weeks, the Chris. Ed. committee will be re-introducing the Playground fundraiser to the kids. The committee is starting a “campaign” in the marketplace this Sunday. Congregation members will be able to contribute to the Playground fund and see the preliminary sketches.

There will be a Christian Education committee meeting next Thursday, Jan. 8th, at 6 PM in Rm. 2F.  You are all welcome to join!

This Wednesday, 12.31.08

Just a couple things for this week…

• The Advent Festival is TONIGHT! I hope you all can bring your families. Enjoy food, fellowship and fun all in one place! We’ve got TONS of Grandma’s Attic merchandise for your kids to buy. Just a quarter a piece! Fun crafts too! The supper is free-will donation.
