Correction!

For several weeks now, I have been thinking about having the poetry slam on Wednesday, September 23rd...The reality of the situation is that there is no such date. *facepalm* It will actually be on Wednesday September 21st. On Wednesday, we worked on more poems. I had all ages in my class and we all created rhyming poems. Some struggled with ideas, but we all helped each other and came up with some really fun writings. I am very much looking forward to the slam! I'm currently on the hunt for a platform that will be used as a stage. We will have coffee with several different available creamers, doughnuts, and fresh fruit. I can't wait to hear what the kids have come up with. It's so interesting to see how very different everyone is because I know that there will be a variety of different styles and ideas. It will be a great time! After the slam, we have the youth kickoff planned. I have many different games and prizes in mind for this day. It should also be a fun time! If you are reading this, I have a request. Please pray for us as our numbers are steadily increasing. We have been getting new kids lately, which is awesome! The only problem I am encountering is that I have all ages in my class at one time and they just don't work well together. The little kids and the high schoolers just are not on the same playing field and we need more teachers! So, please pray that more of our congregation steps up to the plate to help out. Not only will it be a weight off of my shoulders, but the kids will be able to learn more and grow closer to Jesus and the teachers will benefit from sharing their knowledge of the gospel with younger ones who may not understand it fully. (But then again, who does, really?) The point is, that our little church is trying so very hard to reach out and grow, but we are struggling to find able people to help that process move. Thank you for taking the time to read my blog. I just pray for good things to happen with our little church!
