the mosquitoes are swarming and the weeds are thriving in response to the rain, and we are following a new schedule for the summer.
We will have one Worship Gathering at 10:30 am, along with UpStreet and Amazing Place. KidStuf, Inner Space and The Argyle Café are on break, but Impact continues from 4:00 to 6:00 pm on Sundays.
When school lets out, some people seem to disappear from church, even if they don't have kids in school. There was a time when a lot of groups in the South took a summer break, but that had to do with temperature and humidity hovering in the 90's. Thank goodness and John Gorrie that we don't have to face that particular problem (at least, not indoors). So, since we have great air conditioning, that can't be the reason people stay away.
Care to offer your thoughts?

SummerStuf Stuf...
We are adjusting to the new summer schedule here at TCAA and there is still some confusion in the Children's Ministry. I hope if you are a blogger/blog reader this will clear up some of the fog.
There are Children's Ministry small groups for both Amazing Place (babies - 4 year olds) and UpStreet (Kindergarten - 6th grade) at 10:00 during the Worship Service.
Our 6th graders have moved up into the student ministry but all of our other ages still meet in the classroom they were in during the school year. We will not move everyone else up into their new grade/classroom until the fall. So, if your child just finished 3rd grade, they are still in the 3rd grade room upstairs. If they turned 2, 3 or 4 on or before September 1st, 2007, they are still in the same classroom downstairs, etc. We are using the same classrooms and curriculum, rather than purchasing a separate curriculum for the summer months. Some of their leaders during the school year have taken a break and God has led some new leaders to serve during the summer! I know this makes the transition even a little crazier but they all have a background check along with a servants heart and attitude and I pray you will encourage your children to be patient and helpful as any new leaders, really all of us, become comfortable with our SummerStuf schedule and small group routines.
I pray for your continued patience and support as I am combining old and new, learning what works and what doesn't and being open to God's leading and will even though it continues to mean change and growth as much for me as for all of our leaders and children. I take very seriously the responsibility of our ministry to build a foundation for your children in God's Love and Word and to partner with you as parents to have another adult in your child's life that will say the same thing you would say in growing them into young men and young women for the Lord.
He is so good to provide and we are blessed with each leader, "veteran" and "rookie", student and adult!! As a parent and/or member, if you are led to serve or have any questions or comments please contact me at 777-1238 or at my email address amygieger@thechurchatargyle.org.
