Knock Knock

Thank you for answering! I am back!! I keep forgetting about this. I do not know how. But fortunately for you (mostly for me) I remembered.

I just started my internship at Swift Current Full Gospel Church in the children's ministry department. It is very good so far. I have had a lot of meal meetings and have met a bunch of new people. It is very exciting to be here and I look forward to doing work with the church and the children of this city. It has been fun working on Children's Church and finding puppets and costumes. I am working on calling up families with children involved in Children's Church so that I can meet the parents and their children, get to know them, and maybe ask for feedback.

The couple I am staying with is awesome. I have played some games with them, had good conversation, and good food. I have my own bathroom. I am currently looking for a part-time job here so that I can make some money on the side, fill time, and connect with the community. I have applied a few places already but not many. I have been going to the Church, College and Career, and the youth bible study (H2O).

What else? Well, I am doing a monologue for Children's Church on Sunday. I picked out a costume, and have written it up and practiced it. I have also looked for coloring pages related to the topic. I might be starting at a weird place but once I am more organized I will probably have a nice schedule for lessons. I would like to be able to cover the entire Bible every once in a while. I have seen some curriculum that says the cover the Bible every three years. Oh right, I have also been looking up some different curriculum. It is fun. Soon I will be starting on planning VBS and after the summer I think I want to start a mid-week program.

A big part of why I am here is to help with carry-over from VBS because it is well attended but Children's Church is not so much. The mid-week program may be part of that as well. Parents are often looking for somewhere for children to go whether they are Christian or not and there is much more openness to go in the middle of the week than on a Sunday. I suppose it is a less threatening atmosphere. Speaking of mid-week and Sunday, I want them to kind of interweave. The mid-week program will be about the same thing as Sunday but in a different way. A huge part of all of this is keeping it exciting for the kids. They need a reason to want to come back.
