Recap: We ran swiftly over the areas with focus on our Mission Project, Curriculum, Fire Drill, and Reformation. Mission Project: Banks and information goes out 9/25, Banks are due back 10/16, Vote will be 10/23
Curriculum: We discussed the need for 5 additional bonus sessions to be used in Semester 2. I gave a list (in your mailfolders if absent) that had them all and look at them to see if any of them really strike your attention and you’d like to do it. I have chosen 1 already. So, we need 4 more. Any input, please let me know at next meeting otherwise I will just chose for us.
Fire Drill: October 9, those who are teaching please read attached sheet of guidelines. (in your mailfolders if absent) Plan for about a 5 minute disruption.
Reformation: Would you like to do what we did last year and focused more on Reformation? Requires a longer opening and all groups lessons focus on Martin Luther and the Reformation-I have lesson materials for this from last year. Let me know your thoughts at next meeting. Maybe we only do this in intervals….
Everyone did great on Rally Day! Thank You! We have been getting compliments about our opening/installation.
For those of you who weren’t at the meeting…treats await you in your mailfolders.
Birthdays for September….your cards are in your mailfolders!
