September 28

Time to prepare for another awesome week of Alive! On this final Sunday in September, you will begin a new series called What's the Point? This series is all about God's plan for us as individuals. The four questions you will grapple with are:

Why did God create me?
How come I'm not perfect?
Why didn't God make us like robots?
What does God want from me?

All the Grapple curriculum is communicated electronically, and you can find it anytime on the Grapple tab here. You can download this week's lesson here:

Why Did God Create Me?

Encourage kids to bring their own Bibles to church. The BEST encouragement you can provide is to actually use their Bibles during large and small group time.

New Post-It easels in your room

There are now 3 large Post-It paper easels in your classroom for use during small group discussions. Let us know if you need anything else!

Arrival Time

We completely understand that sharing Room 005 with Children's Worship is not ideal, and we are working toward a better arrangement. In the meantime, please do what you can to limit noise or interruption at the end of the Children's Worship time / beginning of Alive time. Children's Worship officially ends at 10 am, and Alive officially begins at 10:05. Come talk to Sarah if you have any concerns about how to share this space! Thank you for your help.

Schedule

The leading schedule is posted on on the blog under "Leader Schedule" up at the top. Here is a link to it. Elizabeth included cell phone numbers for each of you, so please work together to provide coverage if one of you is unavailable. We are working on getting the new sub list up on the blog, but it's always ideal to cover the class among yourselves if possible, since you all know the group and the system so well!

Other questions? Send an e-mail, phone call or text - we're here for you!
