New Things for Fall 2012

What are some new things to expect in September 2012 through August 2012?

• Our Sunday morning Children’s Ministry program name is changing to “Adventure Camp,” along with a new  tag line – “Your journey with Christ begins here!”. It will continue to be open during all three Worship Hours for ages birth through 5^th grade.

• Our theme for the ministry year (Sept 2012 – Aug 2013) is “Teamwork” and our theme verse is “Agree wholeheartedly with each other, love one another, and work together with one mind and purpose, “ Philippians 2: 2.

• We will all be getting new t-shirts to wear on the weeks you serve. Aprons will also be available in each room to wear if you choose not to wear your shirt.

• We will form Ministry Teams within each age level or ministry group and begin to hold regular quarterly meetings for the purpose of planning, training, communicating and visioning.

• Each Ministry Team will have a Team Leader who’s role is to help the team and ministry grow and evolve in line with the mission and vision of Christ Church and Adventure Camp.

• Also, the way we schedule many of the Adventure Camp volunteer areas will change. The Registration Desk and Adventure Heights will change to a “one Sunday per month” format. E.A.G.L.E.S. Nursery is already using this system. Jr. Kidz and Kidz Camp will choose 2 week time slots to serve for a total of at least 6 slots or 12 weeks. This will allow more flexibility in scheduling for the volunteer, but hopefully maintain some consistency for the kids.

• Christ Church will change its 10:45am Worship Time to 11:00 called – The Edge. The style of this later worship service will be a bit edgier, darker, bolder and louder than at 9:30am. Its purpose (as always) is to reach new people through a more modern style, louder rock music and a theater-like atmosphere.

• The church will also be installing additional check-in computers in the church lobby. These computers will serve to check-in and print name tags entire families (like we do during Family Week). Only families needing assistance or new families will use the Camp Registration Desk.
