God is good!

Hey everyone! We are 2 days into school now and The Compass ministry is in full swing! We have almost filled all of our spots for kids this year already! We have so many new kids this year and lots of young children. Quite a change from last year when most of our children were older and were "seasoned" Compass kids.
The first day was definitely a little overwhelming.....I had forgotten how tiny kindergartners are!:) And phrases like "I can't write my name" or "I can't read yet" were heard a number of times! I think this year will keep me on my toes. The children are sweet and this is such a neat ministry to be a part of!
This year, since we have so many new students, I decided we should "trek" through the Bible again, as many are unfamiliar with the stories from the Bible. I'm excited to do this again and the kids are already asking great questions!
Also this year, we are doing the Reading Rainbow again. But this year is a little different than last year. Instead of reaching a goal of an ice cream party as individuals, they get to work together to achieve this goal! I am really excited about it since they will all get to work as a team to reach the goal!
I can already see that we really need more volunteers! It's a real challenge to accomodate all the different needs that the children have each day! Especially during our homework time, from 3:30-4! If you would like to help, we would really appreciate it! Thanks

Looking forward to a great year at The Compass!

Volunteers needed

Hey everyone! I can't believe that school will be starting in one week! Summer has certainly gone by so fast. As I've been preparing for this upcoming school year at The Compass I'm realizing the need for more volunteers! We need to have 4 volunteers a day, which includes myself......SO technically, only 3 others each day! As I look at our volunteer schedule we seem to be averaging 2-3 volunteers a day(this number includes me)! So that means we need some extra people helping out! If any of you have ever worked with children, you know how important it is to have some extra helping hands available! Even if you are only able to help out for an hour...that still counts! And the kids love it!

3 pm to 4 pm is the time we most need help, which is during snack time, devotions, and homework time.

Please consider being a volunteer at The Compass! Or at least pray that God brings us some new volunteers! If you have any questions, you can contact me at 574-354-7308. Thanks!
