New Volunteer Procedure & New Curriculum

Hi, Adventure Camp Volunteers!

May is just around the corner and we are going to test drive a new, easier system for signing up for volunteer roles - it's a free online service called VolunteerSpot. You can still choose your dates, times and age groups but now you'll experience automatic reminders, easier tracking of your chosen "spots", easy-to-use Android/iPhone apps, and automated trading when you can't make a date. Check out the intro video below, then follow the link to sign up for your chosen "spots" by May 1st. May through September 2014 are open for sign ups.

Volunteer Commitment Challenge: We are asking each of our volunteers to take the "challenge" and sign up for at leastone consistent week each month. For example, Suzy might make the commitment to serve every 1st Sunday at 9:15am in the K-2nd room, while Joe might choose to serve every 3rd Sunday at 10:45am in the PreK room. They would both put their names in the appropriate roles on these weeks of the month for the next 5 months. If the occasion arose that they couldn't make their chosen, consistent week, then they'd use the automated trading feature in VolunteerSpot. 

NEW Curriculum:

We've got some exciting things going on in Adventure Camp & we've scheduled a Curriculum Meeting on Tuesday, April 29th from 6:30-8:30 pm designed to explain it all. If you need childcare, please RSVP by Sunday, April 27th. 

May - We're going to take the K-5th grade kids through "World of Chazown". The Adults have experienced it, now the kids get a chance & God’s got big dreams for their life—their Chazown! This May in Adventure Camp, Kids in K-5th will learn all about finding and living God’s plan for their lives!

Beginning in June - "Tru's Big God Story" is coming to Adventure Camp...and we are inviting you to join in the journey! We'll take the kids from Genesis to Revelation each year and give kids the chance to experience God in their own unique way!

Let God MULTIPLY Your Gift of Time

With all this talk about "multiplication" I thought it'd be a great time to give our volunteers some options for multiplying their precious gift of time to ministry. What can God do with two of your hours on a Sunday morning? (Multiplication Message Series - Feb 16 - March 2, 2014)

Work One Worship One - consider giving your Sunday morning to God by worshiping one hour and serving the other!  It's a win-win.

Double Duty - Instead of serving for just one hour on the week you choose, consider serving both! Your experience during the 9:15 am hour easily transfers to the 10:45 am hour making serving a breeze! This Sunday, make sure you attend worship at 8 am OR listen to the sermon online at home. http://christchurchmequon.org/sunday/archive

Kids Can - If you have children consider the following options: Kids can attend one hour of worship with you & spend the other in Adventure Camp while you serve or study. OR Kids can attend two back-to-back hours of Adventure Camp. The first hour should be spent with their appropriate age group and the second hour can be spent in the older or younger room of their choice. This way they get the benefit of reviewing the topic but with different activities!  FINALLY Older Kids can serve a younger age group with their parents. 

For more details on these Kids Can options, see Melissa or Anne'.
