[Gospelchristianity] Fwd: Important NEXTSTEP Class Note

[Robinson B. Heath]

I know many of you are already serving in some capacity, and some of  
you are in this class.  This is a need that any of you are capable of  
meeting.

Peace,
Heath

> there were at least 6 classes at 9:30am and 10 classes at 11am that

> class because there is no one wanting to serve there!  What I saw  
> and heard as I walked down the hall confirmed that what I felt God

> Our class WILL NOT meet this Summer.  I wouldn’t call it “taking a  
> break” because I’m asking many of you not to “break” but rather to  
> go serve in Children’s Ministry together with others in the class.   
> And we don’t want to just “baby sit” but rather to truly go in with  
> a heart to serve these kids and to grow in our own abilities to  
> minister.  On the form I sent around Sunday we got 19 people  
> actually place there name on the list and commit to working!  In  
> addition, I had a couple other folks say they would be happy to  
> help out as a floater or back up.  Wow!  Over 20 folks!  The  
> Children’s coordinators are blown away!  Thanks for your  
> willingness to serve!
>
> But there is still more need!  While we have basically filled the  
> 9:30am time slot, 11am is still in significant need.  We need  
> workers at 11am for the following classes:
>
> 3 year olds (class will not open without help)
> 3rd & 4th grade girls (class will not open without help)
> 1st & 2nd grade boys, 3rd and 4th grade boys, and 1st & 2nd grade  
> girls all have very minimal staff and need an additional body or  
> two and some folks willing to sub when they are out.
>
> If you were not in Class Sunday, I would like to encourage you…even  
> challenge you…to step out and come with the twenty or so others  
> from the class that are going to help fill this need this summer.   
> It will be fun serving together!
>
> If you can help out during the 11am hour (even if it is only  
> filling in for someone else who needs to be out for a week or two),  
> please let me know by responding to this e-mail.  If you have any  
> questions, let me know either by e-mail or our new home phone  
> number is 774-8620.

> Looking forward to seeing how God will work through our class in
